In 2022, Kylian Mbappé was the fourth favorite personality of the French, according to an Ifop survey carried out for the JDD. Since then, the popularity rating of the tricolor international has continued to tumble.
Last September, the French were only 54% to have a good opinion of the Bondy native. Only 58% the “sympathetic” judge (-22 points compared to 2019), 57% “close to the public” (-19 points) and 35% “humble” (-31 points). For Marcus Thuram, this (relative) disenchantment was predictable.
“It is not possible to be a great athlete without having a bad character. When I tell you bad character, it is not even a bad character, it is at one point, there is something that comes out. It will be described by a bad gesture or a bad look. This is why there is such a gap between the very, very high level sportsman and someone who does not evolve at the very high level ”, Explained the Inter Milan striker during an interview given to eleven world.
Mbappé, Marcus Thuram justifies the disenchantment of the French
And the eldest son of Lilian supports his remarks: “There is a mentality to have that some people cannot understand. On reactions, on sentences that some can perceive as poorly placed. For example, Kylian is not understood because he has so much a competitive mentality that there are people who can see it as arrogance. While it is not arrogance, it's just a very, very high level athlete. ”
Last December, during his interview with Clique, Kylian Mbappé had been in the same direction as Marcus Thuram.
“Sometimes this competitive side has played against me, to say that he only thinks of him, descend, but I'm like that. I was too hungry and it played my laps because I was impatient ”had confessed the former Paris Saint-Germain player to Mouloud Achour.
