Present at a press conference, Antoine Griezmann did not escape questions concerning Kylian Mbappé, about to join Real Madrid. Asked, initially, about the latter’s state of mind before the start of the Euro, the Colchoneros striker then wanted to send a clear message. “He knows how to put things into perspective. It’s up to us and the staff to put it in the best conditions. It’s also up to you to talk less about it, but I understand. We know him. He is a very important player for us. It’s up to everyone to put it in the best conditions and we’re going to do it so that it takes us as far as possible. He’s big and he knows how to handle all that very well. Afterwards for La Liga, it’s La Liga, we’ll see later. It is not the moment”.
Raised on the level of his teammates, and in particular that of Mbappé, the 33-year-old Frenchman also became somewhat annoyed. “Kylian has scored how many goals? Did he not have a good season? Guys… If they haven’t played much, then their legs will be fresh. We have to get into the competition, there are some who have played a lot too. It is with the technical and medical staff that we must be 100%. Kylian, we can say what we want, he scores. It’s not just the stats, I don’t like that, but 44 goals is huge. It’s up to us to make him happy. We will have other offensive weapons. Defensively and offensively, we have plenty to do. Everyone will have their role to play”. That’s what it says!
