RMC Sport, The team… The com plan of Kylian Mbappé is perfectly oiled when it comes to breaking the silence after his agitated summer, between his abortive departure from Real Madrid and the disappointment of the Euro. In an interview with the sports daily, the PSG striker returned at length to his first big crisis in Blue, marked by a European championship that was generally missed, both individually and collectively.
“We missed each other completely”, assures Mbappé (22), who will (already) celebrate his 50th selection Thursday against Belgium, in the semi-final of the League of Nations. “I was not as good as I should have been, I accept it and I live with this failure because it will serve me”, also indicates the one who assumes his failure against Yann Sommer during the session penalties against Switzerland in the round of 16 (3-3 after extra time; 5-4 on penalties).
Sometimes racist criticism
On the other hand, the 2018 world champion inevitably had a bad time with the criticisms sometimes tinged with racism: “What shocked me was to be called a singer for a penalty. “
“I never wanted to be a problem,” he says too. But from the moment I felt that I was supposedly starting to become a problem and people felt me as a problem… The most important is the France team and if the France team is happier without me, that’s how it is. If the idea of a break in Blue crossed her mind, according to her words, it came out pretty quickly.
