They're trying to build Mbappe and Haaland up to be the next Ronaldo and Messi, but Haaland's game simply isn't aesthetic enough for him to be that guy.

He's like a more explosive version of Lewa: crazy stats, all-timer in terms of off the ball movement and finishing, great shot selection and a better playmaker than he's given credit for, but he's more of a Tim Duncan style "keep it simple and make the most efficient move" guy, he doesn't really "inspire" like CR7, Messi, Neymar, Zlatan, Mbappe, Maradona, Pele, Beckham, Zidane, Ronaldinho, R9 etc.
