During his career, Kylian Mbappé has played alongside some of the biggest names in world football. Whether it’s Radamel Falaco in Monaco, Neymar and Lionel Messi in Paris, Antoine Griezmann and Karim Benzema in the French team, and now Vinicius and Luka Modric in Madrid (non-exhaustive list), the kid from Bondy has reason to be jealous. But there is a player with whom he would have dreamed of sharing the poster: Zinedine Zidane, the idol of his youth.
Asked to give the name of the player with whom he would have loved to play, the captain of the Blues did not hesitate for long. “ There have been many great players. If I have to answer, I will remain chauvinistic, it would be Zidane “, said “Kyk’s” during an interview with beIN Sports this Wednesday.
Mbappé and Zidane soon reunited in Madrid or with the Blues?
Although he will unfortunately never have the opportunity to play – in competition at least – with “Zizou”, Mbappé could, however, be trained one day by his compatriot. Indeed, Zidane’s name is regularly mentioned in the Spanish press to take over from Carlo Ancelotti on the Real Madrid bench.
And if the two men do not meet again in Madrid, they could collaborate as part of the French team in future years. It must be said that the former number 10 of the Blues dreams of taking control of the French selection after the departure of Didier Deschamps. A departure which should not, however, take place before the end of the 2026 World Cup, the date on which “DD” will be at the end of his contract.
