Kylian Mbappé delivered his version of the facts. Having spent a long time in the media, the French international decided to speak on Canal + to discuss all his current affairs during an interview lasting just over an hour. His arrival at Real Madrid, his departure from PSG, the affair of the exit to Sweden or even the recent absences from the French team, the 25-year-old striker has spared no hot topic of the moment. However, his first public outing did not fully convince.
In France, he was notably criticized by the set of Canal +who regrets a lack of sincerity: “I don’t have the answer to his poor form for makes fewer calls, he scores less and on the captaincy, I think there is a rewriting of history in my opinion”explained journalist Bertrand Latour. “I was happy to see him again, we hadn’t heard from him for a long time, but I’m still hungry, I thought he was going to open up more, his communication was too controlled”also added columnist Laure Boulleau.
The Spanish press was affected
Same story on the side of RMCwhich points “Kylian Mbappé’s boulard still sweated a lot during this interview. He spoke of himself in the third person. It’s a problem, I don’t think he realizes it (…) But once everyone is clear, once we’ve said if and that, once we dissect it, I find that it answers a lot of things”we could hear in the After Foot. “Kylian Mbappé will have answered all the questions, in his own way, sometimes dribbling his opposite number. Many football fans will perhaps remain a little unsatisfied.”also wrote The Parisianin today’s edition.
On the other hand, the Spanish press generally has a completely different view. Touched by his speaking out about depression, but also his statement about his brother, Ethan. “It wasn’t easy, but he was completely honest, talking about his past in Paris, Real Madrid, the French team and all the hot topics”summarizes for example A.S.in Madrid. Marca also assures that this speech will be beneficial for the BMV, the Madrid attacking trio. Finally, El Chiringuito was also touched by his exit, believing that the match against Girona has already been beneficial for Mbappé: “I saw things from Mbappé against Girona that I hadn’t seen until now… things from the Kylian of yesteryear”.
