THE Philip Diallo who was elected yesterday (10/6) president of the French Football Federation (FFF) until December 2024 hopes that the Kylian Mbappe will lead the French team to the Paris Olympics next summer.
“Killian wants to be involved, be important and help us win. In the previous Games we sank and I don’t want it to happen to us again. We haven’t hosted in a century and we have to take the opportunity to make history“, he said.
The French team at the Tokyo Olympics failed to pass the group stage, with one win and two losses. At the Olympics it can use just three players over the age of 23 each year and the French want one to be the Paris Saint-Germain superstar. “There is a higher national interest that must prevail. The whole world will be watching us. We have to field the best team, led by Kilian. He wants to leave his legacy and win a gold medal“, emphasized the president of the FFF.
“We have to convince him. You have to make the players see the importance of being able to have the best during these two weeks of games. By the end of the year we have to deal with this issue“, concluded.
