A few days ago, Ibrahima Konaté admitted that he did not envy the life of KM9. “Mbappé today, the place he has in this world is exceptional. I often tell him: “I want your level of football, but I don’t want your life.” And he’s not the only one. At the microphone of RMC SportDominique Rocheteau confided having the same feeling as the Liverpool player.
“There, I’m going to act a bit like a veteran, but honestly no. I wouldn’t like it. I don’t want to compare myself to Mbappé, he’s an extraordinary player, but I wouldn’t like to have the life he has, from what I see from the outside. In my time, football was less publicized than it is now. But it was still publicized, there were the World Cups, we were quite recognized, it was the number 1 sport. But I still had a normal life, a normal youth. I went to see concerts, I had friends who weren’t into football. And as soon as I had the opportunity, I could go abroad…” The Real Madrid star can also do it, but he does not go unnoticed at all like during his controversial trip to Stockholm last October.
