He spoke for the first time after making his transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid official. Kylian Mbappe!
The French striker made statements at the press conference ahead of his national team’s friendly match with Luxembourg (5/6), describing his joining the “queen” as a childhood dream come truewhile also referring to the situations that made him unhappy, during his last season at Paris Saint-Germain.
What the French striker said in detail:
On the announcement of his acquisition by Real Madrid: “Just before this press conference started, I just wanted to express myself. Everyone had the information, it’s official, I will be a Real Madrid player for at least the next five seasons. It is a great joy, a dream come true.
I am very happy, liberated and very proud to go to this very big club, the best in the world to you to the people who sent me messages and to those who contributed to this work. It’s a big day for me. But we must return to other, more reasonable things. I have responsibilities as captain of the France team and this overshadows the National Team.
I know it’s not fair for the journalists, it’s not fair for you, but I’ll only answer questions about the National Team. I want to protect the national team because we have a big summer ahead of us and it’s been a long time since we won a title”.
On his final season at Paris Saint-Germain: “They made me understand (that I will not play with Paris), they told me to my face, they spoke to me violently. Luis Enrique and Luis Campos saved me, I wouldn’t have stepped on the pitch again without them, that’s why I always had that recognition from the coach and the sporting director. I’m the best person to analyze my returns and I’m sure they were below my standards. Just the fact that I played was a great source of pride, but for sure next year I won’t be satisfied with a year like this.
In Paris I wasn’t unhappy, that would be a shame and for the people who defended me, I was always happy. But situations made me unhappy. But a player like me couldn’t show it because I was the leader they followed, so I tried to be as positive as possible.
The coach, the players and the club officials supported me and it would be rude of me to say anything else. But situations and some people made me unhappy”.
