Often pointed out by the press for his arrogant side and imbued with himself, Kylian Mbappé would simply be someone misunderstood. It is in any case the feeling of Marcus Thuram, who knows him better than anyone for having known him since adolescence. In an interview for Eleven Worldthe inter -Milan striker spoke about what made the strength of his “friend”, and what allowed him to become the player he is today.

“”There is a mentality to have that some people cannot understand (to be a great athlete, editor's note). On reactions, on sentences that some can perceive as poorly placed.
