At this year’s championship in Qatar, Mbappé has already claimed the man of the match title twice, which also includes a trophy from one of the championship’s main sponsors, the Budweiser brewery. However, the French artilleryman always skillfully hid his name. He doesn’t want to be associated with the company.
This is related to his beliefs, which do not allow him to promote junk food, sports bets or companies that sell alcoholic beverages. Being a role model for many kids, he doesn’t want to damage his image by promoting any of the things mentioned above.
Furthermore, the 23-year-old striker will not take part in any press conferences during the championship to avoid questions about his future at Parisian side PSG, which has been much discussed in recent months.

He also does not participate in the interviews after the presentation of the trophy for the best player, for which he risks fines. However, the French Football Federation said they have full support of him and are ready to pay any fine for him.
After picking up the trophy after the Poland match, however, Mbappé took one small exception and stopped by for reporters. “I have nothing against journalists. If I haven’t spoken up, it’s only because I have to concentrate fully on the competition and not waste my energy on other things,” he said, adding that at the moment he is interested in nothing other than winning the tournament .
