Speed is an invaluable asset that can alter the outcome of a game, and Kylian Mbappé has it in spades. His ability to burst forward and thread through balls to his teammates often turns the tide of a match.
FIFA World cup 2022 was no exception as he was a standout performer, with his blistering pace and clinical finishing helping France to reach the final. According to Safebettingsites.com, Mbappé was one of the fastest players in the world, clocking a speed of 35.3 kilometers per hour.
Another star that made an incredible feat of speed was Ghana’s Kamaldeen Sulemana, who achieved a top speed of 35.7 kilometers per hour in the match against Uruguay, making him the fastest player in the group stages at the FIFA 2022 World Cup. Before this tournament, he had initiated his professional career with Danish club FC Nordsjælland and then moved on to the French Ligue 1 team Stade Rennais in 2021.
Safebettingsites sports expert Edith Reads commented on the data saying, “Speed is the key to success in any game.
