球星基利安·姆巴佩者，法兰西岛塞纳-圣但尼省人氏，幼承庭训习球技，再学艺于克莱枫丹青训营，出道于法甲摩纳哥，成名于俄罗斯世界杯法阿之战。
Kylian Mbappé, a football star, was born in Seine Saint-Denis, France. He began to receive footballtraining from childhood, as his father used to be a semi-professional footballplayer. Later he was admitted into and acquired a good chance to polish hisskills in Claire Fontaine Training Center, and after that received a contractfrom de Monaco Football Club. On June 30, 2018, he suddenly gained worldwidefame due to his brilliant and unexpected performance in the FIFA World Cupmatch betweenFranceandArgentina.
其役，群星熠熠，名将如云，而姆巴佩以初出茅庐一少年，于百万军中取上将之头，如探囊取物，技惊四座，一时名声无两，“新球王一夜封神”、“妖人出世”、“一新王逐去两旧王”之说，甚嚣尘上。
This match wasvirtually a gathering-up of super players, but as a newcomer to the World Cupstage Mbappé became the brightest star in this historic match in front of thewhole world. Time and time again he cut through the defense lines of Agentinalike a black sword with dazzling speed and the arrogance of a talented youngman. He was just like a whirl of wind that forced famous players like LionelMessi and Ángel Di María to retreat and fear. The next day news about hisoverwhelming rise dominated most parts of World Cup reports. “A New King ofFootball is Crowned”, “Monstrous Player Outperforms Lionel Messi and CristianoRonaldo”, “A New Football King Drives out Two Old Football Kings”…these aresensational headlines to applaud Mbappé’s power and victory.
太史陈曰：此皆媚俗之见也。古语云，相由心生。凡技能才艺之修炼，皆可由眉目揣摩得之。余观乎姆巴佩面相，稳重与诚意有余，杀气与灵气则不足。额虽现一字奇纹，终不若吊睛白额虎之摄人魂魄也。其次观其技，只求低头疾奔迅跑，不见传控之精妙，亦难显轻盈灵动之意识。惟于战局胶着之际，三度暴击侥幸得手，遂得大名。天下人皆称“新王起，旧王落”，谬矣！
The author’scomments: the fame received by Mbappé in just one match are superficial andfoundationless. As an ancient Chinese saying goes, one’s appearance could convey messages of his thoughts and life experience. The skills and talents possessed by a person, as well asthe training he has received, can actually be deduced from his eyes andtemperament by an experienced observer. I have carefully studied the eyes andtemperament of Mbappé, and my conclusion is that he lacks aggressiveness andattacking intelligence, though he may be enthusiastic and faithful to the artof football. A strange horizontal wrinkle can be seen on the forehead of Mbappé,but can this be as intimidating and menacing as those of a tiger in the jungle?On the other hand, it is undeniable that Mbappé is good at running fast, but obviouslyhis running fast is not supported by meticulous ball control and deadly pass.His straightforward playing style is doubted by rumors that he is not good atrunning cleverly with steady ball control. But fortune favored him. His blitz-likeattacks scored three times during the match. As a result he is dubbed “a newking of football”. No, my friends, he will not be “a new king of football”before he solve the problems of aimless running without consciousness of ballcontrol and pass!
王者之风，技压群雄者，唯贝利、马拉多纳、罗纳尔多、梅西、C罗五人。此诸公名声遍于四海凡数十年，罕有非议。以姆巴佩之气象而论，技术不能服众而媲美“马赛回旋”，眉目不能传神而感触人心。即令其谋食中超，未必胜于“亚洲足球之神”李毅雄才大略、“上海浦东球王”武磊虎狼之心，恐其不免步德罗巴、阿内尔卡败犬落魄回乡之后尘耳。
Then who can becalled “the king of football”? In my opinion Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, Messi andC. Ronaldo deserve this title with their hearts and skills. They have becomefamous for dozens of years and their fames are nearly undisputed. However, Mbappé’sskills and talents are still disputed, at least by me, and people holdingsimilar viewpoints. Can he demonstrates the gracefulness of Marseille Turn? Canhis eyes and temperament be convincing to football fans all over the world?Guess what will happen if Mbappé is offered a contract in Chinese FootballSuper League. Here we have Li Yi, the God of Football in Asia, and Wu Lei, theKing of Football in Pudong District,Shanghai.Li Yi is famous for his ambitious eyes and genius in manipulating strategiesand tactics in football matches, and Wu Lei has a lion’s heart and a tiger’sheart at the same time. Though Didier Drogba and Sebastien Anelka had been successful players in the past, they were proved to be losers after serving the Chinese Super League which boasts cut-throat competition and the rule of jungles.
一战成名，衣锦还乡，姆巴佩当之无愧。然则“球王”之衔，可遇而不可求，若暴速勉力求之，天不喜。普拉蒂尼、坎通纳、齐达内、里贝里、博格巴诸公，并称法国六大球星。普拉蒂尼风度翩翩，坎通纳不怒自威，齐达内艺术大师，里贝里勇冠三军，博格巴黑云压城。窃以为，姆巴佩异日之成就，不得胜于此六人。何也？眼神中不见王气，其人岂得为球王。
Mbappé can nowreturned to his hometown with fame and success, and be hailed as a hero, yetthe title of “King of Football” is something that can not be pursuedforcefully. If you do so with mere speed and obsession, fortune will definitelynot favor you for a second time. The six most successful football stars inFranceare Michel Platini, Eric Cantona, Zinedine Zidane, Franck Ribéry, Paul Pogba. Platinihad unbelievably elegant football style; Cantona’s arrogance and anger reducedhis opponents to nothing; Zidane is a Guru of artistic football; Ribéry’scourage and determination help him conquer everything; Pogba is like a blackpanther that survies and thrives only on its enemies’ blood. I believe that Mbappéwill not be able to attain anything greater than those attained by these six predecessorsof him. Why I am confident in saying this? If you see no spirit of a king inone’s eyes, how can he be declared the King of Football?
