Mbappé, Neymar and Icardi: Three Friends

03/08/2020

No one would have bet on the three of them ending up as one. Three very different stories, but a front three that works. Young players with superb technical skills, who were considered the best from an early age and who have had to content with their own shadow while always subject to media scrutiny. Icardi, after PSG triggered his buy-out clause at Inter by paying 55 million euros for the transfer, is another. Total connection. 


Icardi has had Tüchel's complete trust from day one, and has seen how Cavani—one of the flagships of the ownership's first project—has enjoyed no privileges at all in Tüchel's line-ups. He played Icardi, a goal-scorer who has little involvement in the play, but who is always ready to shoot on sight. An old-school striker who never takes a ball off Neymar or Mbappé. All he does is score. 

Neymar and Mbappé break down defences. They are game-changers, and they leave Icardi free to score. Between them this season they have 56 goals, a front three of the kind formed by Messi, Suárez and Griezmann. Behind them is Di María. Nicknamed "the noodle", he's the fourth man in a team where everyone defends so that the front three can have free range to make the Parisians fly. Next up, the Champions League.
