Kylian Mbappé returned to media school. The French, discreet in recent months, has given several interviews in recent days. The Captain of the Blues presented himself alongside Didier Deschamps last week before the meeting against Ukraine counting for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The opportunity for French to get some messages as he is used to. Mbappé also surprised by changing position concerning overloaded calendars and the hellish rates imposed on players. He believes that it is above all more rest to recover between meetings.

Then KM10 granted an interview to Anne-Sophie Lapix on M6. This Wednesday, the Real Madrid player gave a very long interview to the L'Equipe Magazine. An article published this morning very early, just hours after the 2-1 victory from the French team to Iceland at the Parc des Princes. The 26 -year -old striker distinguished himself since he transformed a penalty, a few days after scoring a goal against Ukraine. Everything is running for the former Bondy, who also makes a nice starter in Liga in the Real Madrid jersey.

Mbappé is well launched this season

Indeed, he has already scored 3 goals in 3 league appearances. For his second year in Casa Blanca, he has even more responsibility and the confidence of his new coach, Xabi Alonso. This was already the case last season with Carlo Ancelotti or in Paris Saint-Germain. A club where he spent 7 years before leaving in 2024 to realize his dream at Real Madrid. But his departure from the Ile -de -France stable was not necessarily made in the best conditions, since there was in particular a conflict concerning unpaid wages.

The Frenchman spoke about it at L'Equipe Magazine. He explained that he was in his right to claim his due while specifying that he did not want any harm to the capital's club even if it could give the impression. He simply wanted to enforce his employment contract, he who assured that he was not paid when he was still in Paris but who did not wish to make a scandal. He never wanted to pass for the former club who had rage and resentment. Then there was talk of the coronation of PSG in the Champions League. A title he has not yet won. But he is very happy for PSG.

He evokes the victory of PSG in LDC

“I have friends in the team and those who know me know that friendship is important to me. You can't spit on a team where there are your friends, even if it had not been PSG. My story was over and I left without regrets. Even the things I have been bad are part of my story. When I played, we were very close to the goal, we made two semi-finals, a final. We did not save and my time has passed. Real calls me, it has always been my dream, I could have been there earlier. ” Some spoke about the famous Karma since PSG won the C1 the year following its departure.

“It is sure that by analyzing it like that in a hurry, you can think that I am a fucking fish. PSG has strengthened, was always closer … We lose against Dortmund by pulling forty times, eight times on the bar … I still cannot explain to you how we have not passed honestly. At PSG, this is year II of Luis Enrique, the team has not moved, you are reinforced well with a super transfer window, with in particular Pacho … In Liga, we also lose the title but Barça has made a great year. We have missed opportunities in a priori easier games, we finish at three points. When you go into details, you see that there are a lot of explanations. ”

No Seum for km10

Then Kylian Mbappé was asked about other subjects. For example, he refused to decide between his friends Ousmane Dembélé and Achraf Hakimi with regard to the Ballon d'Or, which he will not win this year according to him. KM10 also mentioned the succession of Didier Deschamps at the head of the Blues, Zinedine Zidane, the new generation of the Habs, his entourage, his education or his vision of the life and the world of football. Regarding this specific point, the 26 -year -old mentioned the difficulties in sorting in this environment where money flows afloat.

“The more money you have, the more problems you have.” Some do not see that your life changes, they want to keep the image of you when you were a child, when you were with them … but you are no longer the same. You have responsibilities, commitments, work, accounts to be rendered (…) It is our environment and we cannot change it. I am fatalistic about what the world of football is, but not on what life is. Life is magnificent. Football is what it is. I like to say that people who go to the stadium have the chance to “just” come and see a show and not know what's going on behind the scenes. Honestly, if I didn't have this passion, the world of football would have disgusted me for a long time. ”

A world of special football

Mbappé even confessed: “I would never advise my child to set foot in the world of football.” The attacker seems to disgust by this environment in which he has grown and evolved all his life or almost. Not to mention weariness, we feel a certain inevitable in the 2018 world champion, who also confessed that it was sometimes difficult for him to manage confinement during international competitions for several weeks. He expressed a certain boredom while waiting for the meetings, while insisting that he is always very motivated.

He still demonstrated it last night during the meeting against Iceland. A match during which he continued to write his story with the French team, since he scored his 52nd goal in the jersey of the rooster. All in 92 selections. He also exceeded a certain Thierry Henry. But Mbappé always wants more. The Captain of the Blues now wants to join Olivier Giroud. “I am very happy (to have exceeded Thierry Henry, editor's note), I'm still going to talk about Titi, it's a living legend. There is still one person to go beyond (Olivier Giroud, Editor's note), you should not party too much, there is still work ”he concluded last night.
