In a recent interview with L’Équipe and other international media outlets in Doha, Ronaldo Nazário has stated that France are now the “big favorites” to win the 2022 World Cup following Brazil’s elimination from the competition.
He also predicted that Kylian Mbappé would be heralded as the tournament’s best player.
The former Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan man reminded the press of his original prediction: a final between France and Brazil (in a nostalgic repeat of the 1998 final).
He went on say that with each match played during this tournament that “France confirm they are among the favourites”.
The 2002 World Champion then said “I even think now that they are the favourites for the World Cup. They have a very solid team, whether in defence, attack or the middle”.

He went on to praise the Paris Saint-Germain star’s qualities, even going as far to say “he reminds me a bit of myself when I was playing.
“He knows how to use his skills, how to go faster than other players and use it to pass or score”.
