Adil Rami (Boavista), who was Kylian Mbappé’s teammate at the 2018 World Cup, came to the defense of the young striker, who has been much criticized for missing the penalty that led to France’s departure from the European Championship.
«Mbappé will have to go through these moments. It will have to fall, fail, be criticized, mature and understand what football is. In a way, I’m “happy” to see him suffer, because I know he will be the Golden Ball thanks to that. I had the opportunity to live with him and get to know him. It’s always been that way, so nothing surprises me. Maybe his behavior bothers him, because he wants to play everything, to do as his idol (Cristiano Ronaldo) and the great players», said the checkered defender, in statements to the RMC.
Adil Rami also warned that the striker is only 22 years old: “It must not be forgotten that he is still a child in search of himself. It needs to mature. His choices aren’t perfect, because he’s only 22 and he needs to learn.”
