Kylian Mbappé said this ahead of what was arguably the best game of the first day of international football, France vs. Brazil. However, most of the questions concerned the “knee gate” involving the Frenchman and his error in the analysis of the injury that has resulted in the decline of Real Madrid’s goalscoring status since last December.
Mbappe denied this information, which was reported by RMC and confirmed by many media outlets including MARCA, but hinted that something had happened with the injury diagnosis. “The information that they tested the wrong knee is not true. I may be responsible indirectly. When there is no communication, everyone takes advantage of the situation, that is the way it is. We have always had pretty clear communication with Real Madrid. We are in a critical period of the season and we wanted the team to win the game. When I was injured at the beginning of January, everyone thought that I was the only solution for the club, but in reality that was not the case.”
“Both knees”
Mbapp struggles in the hotel elevator as his teammates look on.
Mbappe even had the resources to use his sense of humor in one of his first answers. “I have never regretted anything, both as a person and as a player. I am focused on the present and the near future. I am happy that both knees are feeling well. In a way, I owe it to the club. I am very happy to be healthy and here.”
he wants to be a starter
After the uproar in both France and Spain, the question “What time is it tomorrow?” was inevitable. Ready to play. Ready to start. The coach will make the decision.”
Duel with Vinny
It was a press conference as the captain of the France national team, and there were many questions about the match against Brazil. “It’s important. Brazil is a very important country when it comes to football. It gives a first idea of what will happen at the World Cup next summer. The atmosphere, the fans…”
“Everyone in this room knows the history of Brazil. Brazil is the country that most inspired national team soccer. Their jerseys have five stars on them. It’s always a challenge. They come here to win. It’s a joy and a challenge. And there will be lessons to be learned. We have to give our all.”
Praise Olise
Kiki praised Bayern player Michael Oliseh, who some sources have linked to Real Madrid. “He’s had a great season. Having a player of his caliber is a big advantage. We’ll try to get him in the best condition. He feels good. It’s up to us to integrate all the attacking players. Usman deserves his due. There is a place for him. We can line up several attacking trios without compromising quality. We performed well in qualifying and we will continue this approach to improve the team to its best.”
