The FFF has been monitoring the situation around Kylian Mbappé since the controversy linked to Mao Zedong and China. It concerns its captain but this affair could also have an impact on partnerships and even contracts between the federation and Chinese partners. Philippe Diallo spoke to West France to defend the Madrilenian. According to him, this controversy has gone much too far and his apologies should be enough to calm things down.
“I saw that there was a controversy around Kylian, certainly a little too strong because I don’t think that Kylian wanted in any way to damage the image of a Chinese leader, nor to insult the Chinese people in any way.assures Diallo. It’s a controversy, ultimately, which should not, I hope, last because Kylian explained very well in what context this intervention took place. He apologized. I believe that we must now leave it there and that he can continue his season in the best conditions.»
