At the heart of many questions after a start to the season marked by his absences from the French team and some poor performances with Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé spoke this Sunday evening in the show “Clique” on Canal +. The opportunity for the Parisian striker to respond to his detractors. “The criticisms? It’s more of a boomerang effect, when it hits your loved ones. I have no contact with French television here. I don’t look. It’s more my loved ones who watch and who talk to me about it so we send it to you and when you see that it affects your loved ones, it can touch you”.
Relaunched on his debut in Madrid, the Bondynois also wanted to make things clear. “I really wanted to discover something here. I put my focus on that. I was jumping into the unknown without really jumping into the unknown, I spoke the language but culture can be learned. I insisted a lot on adaptation when I arrived and people said “oh it’s false modesty” but it’s real”. And to conclude: “I have been described as super mature. Sometimes messages are without speaking. Sometimes I send messages in spite of myself. People see us as robots. There’s a robotic circle that wants this. When you go further, we are human like everyone else. People criticize us and praise us. Since I was 14, everyone told me I was going to be big. But when you’re big, sometimes you feel small. The football crowd is very versatile. It’s good or it’s not good, it’s always the same question”. That’s clear!
