Mbappé is reaching speeds of 22 miles per hour at the World Cup
“Nineteen other teams in [France’s] Ligue 1 – and others in the Champions League – have been waiting for a solution,” French midfielder Youssouf Fofana told reporters this week when asked how to contain the Paris Saint-Germain star.
法国中场Youssouf Fofana本周在被问及如何遏制这位巴黎圣日耳曼球星时，他告诉记者：“其他19支法甲球队和其他欧冠球队一直在等待一个解决方案。”
“The truth will come on the pitch. We have full confidence in Kylian.”
“真相会在球场上揭晓。我们对Kylian充满信心。”
Mbappé has been on sensational form in Qatar, scoring five goals in four games – two more than any other player.
Mbappé在卡塔尔的比赛中表现出色，4场比赛打入5球，比其第二名球员多2球。
That included a brilliant double against Poland in the round of 16 – the first a booming strike into the top-left corner, then the second a curling effort into the opposite corner.
这其中包括16强比赛中对阵波兰的两粒精彩进球——第一球是大力轰入了球门的左上角，第二个球则是弧线打入了球门的右上角。

But the 23-year-old has showcased more than just clinical finishing at the World Cup, terrorizing opponents with his phenomenal speed and ability to get behind the defensive line.
但这位23岁的球员在世界杯上展示的不仅仅是冷静的射门，他以惊人的速度和突破防线的能力让对手胆寒。

According to FIFA, Mbappé hit a top speed of 35.3 kilometers per hour (about 22 miles per hour) against Poland – among the fastest speeds recorded at the tournament so far. His teammate, forward Ousmane Dembélé, clocked 35kph (21.7mph) in the same game.
根据国际足联的数据，Mbappé在对阵波兰时的最高速度为35.3公里/小时(约22英里/小时)，这是迄今为止世界杯上有记录的最快速度之一。他的队友，前锋Ousmane Dembélé，在同一场比赛中跑出了35公里每小时(21.7英里每小时)的时速。
More crucial to France’s attack, though, is how rapidly the likes of Mbappé and Dembélé can accelerate.
不过对于法国的攻击线来说，更为关键的是Mbappé和Dembélé究竟能等达到怎样的加速度。
“In a field sport, acceleration is by far the key element,” sports scientist Simon Brundish told CNN Sport. “Top speed is an opportunity … How often do you get the chance to run at full speed for 30 meters in the first place on a football pitch? It’s not very common.
体育科学家Simon Brundish告诉CNN体育频道：“在田径运动中，加速度是关键因素。最高速度是一个机会……你能有几次机会在足球场上全速跑30米？这不是常见的现象。”
“It’s how you can go from zero to five meters fastest and zero to 10 meters fastest – that’s the thing that separates you.”
“如何从0到5米的达到最快速度，从0到10米的达到最快速度，这就是你（和别人）的区别所在。”
But England may have an answer to the pace of Mbappé. Kyle Walker has long been regarded as one of the fastest fullbacks in football, and the Manchester City star is expected to line up opposite the fleet-footed Frenchman on Saturday.
但英格兰队或许可以对姆巴佩的前进的步伐做出回应。 Kyle Walker一直被认为是足球界速度最快的边后卫之一，这位曼城球星预计将在周六对阵这位速度很快的法国人。
Indeed, former England striker Gary Lineker went as far as to suggest that Walker should have been rested against Senegal in the round of 16, protecting the defender from potentially picking up an injury ahead of facing Mbappé.
事实上，前英格兰前锋Gary Lineker甚至建议Walker 应该在16强对阵塞内加尔的比赛中休息，以保护这名后卫在对阵Mbappé之前不会受伤。
“He [Walker] is very gifted genetically and his speed is one of his biggest assets,” James Baldwin, head of physiotherapy at Manchester City, said in a recent interview with Therabody.
曼城理疗主管James Baldwin最近在接受Therabody采访时表示：“他(沃克)在基因上非常有天赋，他的速度是他最大的财富之一。”
“To be able to maintain his speed and still be one of the fastest European players at 32 is phenomenal.”
“能够保持他的速度，并且在32岁的时候仍然是欧洲最快的球员之一，这是非常了不起的。”
One option for England manager Gareth Southgate would be to deploy five defenders against France, with Walker operating as a right-sided center-back. Otherwise, he could stick with the four-at-the-back formation which worked so effectively in the 3-0 win against Senegal.
英格兰主帅索斯盖特的一个选择是在对阵法国的比赛中部署5名后卫，沃克担任右边中卫。否则，他可能会坚持使用在3-0战胜塞内加尔的比赛中非常有效的四后卫阵型。
