“I don’t regret fame”
Confirm Kylian MbappéThe Real Madrid star noted that there are always high expectations around the French national team, which shows that miracles only happen inside the green rectangle.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair magazine during the international break, the French striker spoke about his vision for football, his role in society and managing his reputation, apart from the 2026 World Cup.
Representing France
“There is nothing better than representing your country where you become part of the elite international footballers and it is difficult to be in a situation like ours when everyone expects us to achieve miracles, but miracles only happen on the pitch and there is no need to play the game too early.”
“You can be a football player and a world star, but first of all you are a citizen, and we are not separated from what is happening in our country. Sometimes people think that these issues don’t affect you because you have money and fame, but they affect me because I know their importance and the consequences they can have on our citizens. our opinion, just like everyone else’s.
“It was something that terrified us as citizens. We couldn’t sit back and tell ourselves that everything will be fine and then go play.
Glory trap
The French attacker continued. “Shall I summon fame?” I will try to be optimistic. It’s good and of course it’s hard because you feel like you no longer belong to you, but to everyone else, but at the same time this is the life we chose, maybe not to this extent, but we chose it anyway. I complained ungratefully.”
“I didn’t always know how to handle reputation well. I became famous at a very young age, and so I didn’t have the maturity, open-mindedness, or empathy to sometimes put myself in other people’s shoes and understand that sometimes they’re only going to see me once, and never again, except on TV.
Criticism of the French
“Even before we get into that discussion, I think it’s just a cultural thing. We are French and the French love to complain and love to be unhappy. We’re just French, so these are French people judging French people, and that’s the reality.”
“I think the French are happiest when they’re not happy, because we criticize everything, and I say I’m like that too, but I think the new generations are trying to develop this way of thinking and have already started to change. Our goal, as celebrities and the best in the world to represent France, is to try to convey the best possible image of our country, because we believe we are talking about it. the world and transmits enormous values through its culture, although it is true that the French have tried to destroy all their players.”
Imitating Zidane
“I don’t know the cost of organizing the World Cup, and if they ask me to organize it, it probably won’t work. If FIFA decides to hold it in the United States, it is because they see that everything is manageable and that it is possible for us to go there.”
Mbappe said about his desire to cut his hair like Zidane. “I was very young. It’s funny, but it also shows the innocence of a child who doesn’t understand that a very famous and powerful man can lose his hair.”
He concluded. “I think my childhood was normal and my parents were loving and caring. I haven’t actually lived with my parents much, which is different, but that’s what I wanted at the time.”
