Kylian Mbappe's Multilingual Talents Spark Comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo
Kylian Mbappe showcases multilingual skills in a Chinese advert, sparking comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo. Mbappe's move to Real Madrid includes a substantial signing bonus despite a wage cut. Fans draw parallels between Mbappe's ad and Ronaldo's 2019 Shopee campaign.
This linguistic feat comes shortly after he impressed everyone with his flawless English in an interview just last month. The 25-year-old forward expressed his pride in captaining France for the first time during Euro 2024, despite facing challenges like a broken nose and a semi-final loss to Spain.
Mbappe recently made headlines by joining Real Madrid, bidding farewell to Paris Saint-Germain. Despite taking a £51 million wage cut, he secured a staggering £106.5 million signing bonus and will still earn £12.8 million annually. Beyond football, Mbappe boosts his income through endorsements, including a deal with Xiaohongshu, a popular social media app known as "Chinese Instagram."
Mbappe is depicted in a promotional video for Xiaohongshu, speaking Chinese proficiently while in a gym and against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower. Fans immediately saw similarities between Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo, another football icon who is recognised for his global endorsement agreements. Some individuals even made a light-hearted comparison between Mbappe's advertisement and Ronaldo's 2019 campaign for Shopee, an online purchasing platform.
In the Shopee advertisement featuring Ronaldo, he scores a free kick in a stadium, which initiates a surreal sequence in which fans transform orange upon making a purchase through the app. In Shopee-branded attire, Ronaldo performs a cringeworthy performance in the advertisement's conclusion. Despite the fact that Mbappe's advertisement was less unsettling, fans were unable to resist noticing the similarities between the two football icons. Some speculated that Mbappe was mimicking Ronaldo.
Many fans were simply in awe of Mbappe's linguistic abilities, despite the playful comparisons. Some expressed astonishment at his multilingual prowess and the lucrative opportunities they presented. Mbappe's abilities, both on and off the pitch, continue to captivate the football world.
