In my view the truly elite players help their team to take the game by the scruff. Of course, individual players have great moments, but while he is busy polishing Mbappé's ego, his team are leaving the Champion's League...again.Get what you’re alluding to but he also has a point. The really elite players take games by the scruff of the neck.
We all have different feelings about the game and different philosophies, but give me a player that hugely contributes to team success over a maverick any day of the week. A player that does both...fair enough.
