Since its sensational entry into the world football landscape in 2017, Kylian Mbappé gives off the image of a divisive character. Extremely eloquent in front of the microphones, the captain of the Blues has also been singled out for his supposed individualism and very clear-cut speeches.
But the calculating Mbappé at a press conference can give way to a young man of disconcerting simplicity. Especially when he is in contact with children. The Bondy prodigy has always established strong relationships with the younger generation, and the images published this week by the FFF confirm this aspect of his personality.
We see the French team organizing a training session with a group of 23 children selected for the occasion. The concept is clear: an opposition on the grounds of Clairefontaine with the Blues to coach them.
Kylian Mbappé over the moon to coach the children
The least we can say is that Kylian Mbappé has taken his role as coach to heart. Dedicated, attentive, complicit, sometimes quiet, the second top scorer in the history of the Blues did not hesitate to give some advice to these budding footballers. On the program: a game plan, substitutions, actions to execute to better finish actions and a collective state of mind.
Touching images which also tend to remind us to what extent this promotion of the French team remains exemplary for the younger generations. Besides Kylian Mbappé, other players like Mike Maignan or Florian Thauvin were very friendly with the children.
