” I am still nobody in Madrid” Kylian Mbappé did not mince his words when discussing his future role at real Madrid10 days ago, during a very poignant official presentation in front of his parents. A speech that is so out of place that the Bondy prodigy has been used to affirming his immense ambitions since the beginning of his career.
Sometimes perceived as presumptuous, Kylian Mbappé is above all demanding of himself. This is what his mother Fayza Lamari underlined in an interview given to the daily newspaper Le Parisien. Kylian’s career wouldn’t be this if he had lacked humility. He has the ability to constantly question himself. If there is someone who is demanding of himself, it’s him. He arrives with humility in a very good team. And when he says he can play on the left, on the right or in the three forward positions, that’s what it means,”
she explained, while specifying that she had not necessarily endorsed the story of the “pivot gang”, when the striker had expressed his frustration at playing in the axis, at PSG.
“If you arrive at a club like that without humility, it doesn’t work.”
Fayza Lamari has absolutely no doubts about her son’s ability to integrate into the Madrid dressing room. In the team, the players are the best in the world and have known each other for a long time. If you arrive at a club like that without humility, it doesn’t work.
” It’s not the same to work in your country, the one you grew up in. You’re used to turning on the TV, reading the newspapers… Some will say that being at the center of the media game and the criticism that goes with it is the game. It’s the necessary step to be a great player. I don’t quite agree with that,” concluded Fayza Lamari. The message got through.
