Kylian Mbappe was awarded the best player in the French league and in an interview with L’Equipe he addressed the future.
“If there are reasons to believe that this is my last season in Ligue 1? It’s very simple, I’m competitive, when I play it’s to win. No matter who I play with, no matter what my jersey is, no matter where, no matter what year, I don’t feel satisfied with winning. I go on vacation, reset, get my energy back and come back with that hunger everyone knows,” said the France international.
“I am always dissatisfied, so I am never impressed by what I do. It is really the first guide to understanding myself because everything I do, I tell myself I can do again and better, ”he continued.
“I have this passion to win. No, I want to be on a team just to participate. That’s why people sometimes think I’m cocky.”
′′ I’m not afraid of failure either, it’s part of a footballer’s career. But I have a deep conviction that I was born to win and I want to show that to everyone, ”he assumed.
Mbappe is at odds with the leadership of Paris Saint-Germain. And the player has previously said that he does not want to renew his contract, while club managers repeat that he is either renewing or leaving now, and not at the end of the contract, which lasts for another year.
The Parisian club was trying to field teams that would allow them to win the Champions League, which never happened.
′′ I don’t know what PSG misses to win the champions, that’s not a question for me. You have to ask that of the people who make up the team, who makes up the team and who builds the club. I just try to do my job the best I can. I was the best player and top scorer in the first division for the fifth year in a row.
When asked if there was an underestimation of his performance, Mbappe admitted the possibility, but “at the same time I don’t blame people for it” and justifies: “In France, people see me older, they see me all the time, at PSG every weekend or with the national team.” “I’ve been scoring goals for years. So, for the fans, it comes naturally. But I never complained that my performance was underestimated.”
For the rest, Mbappe concludes by calling out the two giants of the modern era.
“I am young and I was fortunate enough to be an observer, not long ago, before I became a champion. Personally, I underestimated what Messi did, what Cristiano Ronaldo did, what the great players did. We live in a consumer society that emphasizes, “It’s OK, 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 divided team, a divided club. So, of course, that attracts rumors, but I don’t care because I know what I’m doing and how I’m doing it.”
