She almost went unnoticed after the announcement of the list of 26 Blues, including Karim Benzema, who will play the next Euro (June 11 – July 11). Yet Kylian Mbappé, striker for Paris Saint-Germain and the French team, gave an interview to “TF1”, recorded the day before, and broadcast just after the announcement made by Didier Deschamps.
Presenter Gilles Bouleau discussed many topics there. But, before even starting, the man of the JT set the framework by announcing that there will be no question of talking about his future with the club of PSG. The issue of vaccination was also not addressed. Here are the best moments of this interview.
On his ambitions for the next Euro:
“The ambition is always the same when I wear the jersey of my country. We have to give the best of ourselves. We dream of overtaking, that would be an extraordinary feat. We relied on the 2018 World Cup to improve. We want to win and have the recognition of a country, we play for all French people. “
On his dream of competing in the Olympics:
“Of course, I’ve always dreamed of it, it’s a very big dream. Afterwards, I do not decide. But I hope to make the Olympics once in my life. “

On his quest for the Ballon d’Or:
“Football is a team sport, we win titles together like the World Cup or the Champions League. It’s presumptuous to talk about the Ballon d’Or, but yes it’s a real goal that all great players dream of achieving.
On the praise for him from Pelé:
“When the King of football tells you that (“ when I see his talent, I tell myself that I will have to dust off my crampons ”), we can only encourage ourselves to go further. I will do everything to return this affection to Pelé but also to everyone. “
On the fact that he is one of the most expensive players in the world:
“I don’t have this pressure on a daily basis. It’s the football world that’s like that, I don’t think about it. This money goes to the clubs. Me, I live from my passion for football and the game. I constantly try to make my respective teams win. That’s my goal, to win. “
On his rhythm of life
“Obviously, I don’t have the same rhythm of life as a boy of my age (22 years old), it’s different. But I am very happy with it. I would like more privacy but that’s how it is. It’s a life I’ve always dreamed of having. I want my joie de vivre to be communicative. As in all life, there are positives and negatives. “
