Kylian Mbappé received the award for best player in the French league and in an interview with L’Equipe he addressed the future.
«If there are reasons to believe that it is my last season in Ligue 1? It’s very simple, I’m a competitor, when I play it’s to win. And no matter who I play with, no matter my jersey, no matter where, no matter the year, I’m never satisfied with winning. I go on vacation, do a reset, recover my energy and come back with that hunger that everyone knows», said the French international.
«I’m always dissatisfied, so I’m never impressed with what I do. It’s already a first clue to understand myself because everything I do, I tell myself that I can do it again and better », he continued.
«I have this hunger to win no, I want to be in a team just to participate. That’s why sometimes people think I’m arrogant.”
′′ I’m not afraid of failure either, it’s part of a football player’s career. But I have the deep conviction that I was born to win and I want to show that to everyone», he also assumed.
Mbappé is at odds with PSG’s leadership. The player has already said that he does not want to renew his contract, while club managers reiterate that he either renews or leaves now and not at the end of the contract, which lasts another year.
The Parisian club has been trying to form squads that allow it to win the Champions League, which has never happened.
′′ I don’t know what PSG is missing to win the Champions, it’s not a question for me. You have to ask that of the people who make the team, who form the squad and who build the club. I just try to do my job as best I can. I was the best player and top scorer in Ligue 1 for the fifth year in a row.”
Asked if there is a trivialization of his performance, Mbappé admitted the possibility, but «at the same time I don’t blame people for that» and justifies: «In France, people saw me grow, they see me all the time, at PSG every weekend or with the national team. I’ve been scoring goals for years. So, for fans, it’s becoming normal. But I never complained that my performances are trivialized»
For the rest, Mbappé concludes by recalling the two giants of the modern era.
«I’m young and I was lucky enough to be an observer, not so long ago, before I became a protagonist. I myself trivialized what Messi did, what Cristiano Ronaldo did, what the great players did. We live in a consumer society, which emphasizes “that’s good, but do it again”. And the fact that I’m here, in Paris… I don’t think playing for PSG helps much, because it’s a team that divides, a club that divides. So, of course, that attracts rumours, but I don’t care because I know what I’m doing and how I’m doing it.”
