The Kylian Mbappé case is eternally debated, in France as elsewhere and especially at PSG. Having stayed last summer after a standoff with the capital club, he ended up returning to the field but he is paying a high price today. Without normal summer preparation, he appeared in difficulty during this first part of the season. If he is still as formidable in front of goal (21 goals in 22 matches in all competitions with PSG), he seems less connected to Luis Enrique’s team. Tensions even arose with his coach recently, even though his club put him at the center of the project.
He took advantage of an interview at France 3 for a clarification. To the question “do you consider yourself to have power today?”, the world champion answers this: “people consider it and sometimes overconsider it. People think that it’s me who does everything, that it’s me who makes the team, what needs to be done, who should do what… I love being invested and committed but the basis of everything is that I am a football player. You should never misunderstand who I am. I am a citizen, I have positions. I have values that I defend. I have rights that I want to assert. I accept that and I claim it. But I don’t take myself for more than I am.”
“I still have a lot to accomplish”
Under contract with PSG until the end of the season, the striker will be free to sign wherever he wishes from January 1, before joining this future destination at the start of the school year next July. A trend would also emerge. He would not extend with the club of the French capital to engage with the club of the… Spanish capital. The famous Real Madrid where he has been announced every year since the start of his career. Extreme over-media coverage, including on social networks, which he believes does not really weigh on his shoulders. It is undoubtedly the force of habit and of a light that he has always sought.
“You shouldn’t pay attention to what people think otherwise you won’t sleep at night”assures the 25-year-old player who has already accomplished great things during his career. “I wouldn’t have imagined doing all this so quickly. I was ambitious. Of course I was dreaming. But I wouldn’t have imagined doing so much. We dream of many things when we are kids but I still have many things to accomplish.”he aims in this interview to All Sport on the occasion of an association in favor of sick children that he sponsors, Premiers de Cordée. A welcome update as the transfer window begins.
