Zidane, the Olympics, PSG, Ronaldo… When Mbappé confides in football fans with disabilities

After long months of silence and controversies, Kylian Mbappé shows himself and speaks at the end of 2024. A few days after giving a long interview to Mouloud Achour, in the show “Clique”, the striker of the Real Madrid participated on BeIN Sports in the program “Be United”, where he met several football fans with disabilities.

In a format very close to that of the “Rencontres du Papotin”, these eight young men and young women sat around the French international (86 caps, 48 ​​goals) for long minutes to ask him questions. Among the themes discussed, between a few jokes thrown around with speckled foils, there was obviously the question of his departure from Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

“If I hadn’t been able to go to Real, I would have stayed at PSG all my life”

“I spent seven years at PSG and it was, I think, an honor,” he said. Maybe I didn’t say it enough, didn’t show it enough, but I was always aware of where I was and the great club that PSG is. I always said it was the biggest club in France, one of the biggest clubs in the world… I just left it for THE biggest club in the world. I always said it was the only club I would have left PSG for. If I hadn’t been able to go to Real, I would have stayed at PSG all my life, but I had this dream of playing for Real. »

He would have liked to play with Zidane, “for what he represents”

Other themes were discussed, some sports, others professionals. Asked which player, active or not, he would have liked to share the field with, he quotes Zinedine Zidane: “You can say 20, players like that, but I’m going to remain chauvinistic and say Zidane for what he represents and what he was as a player. But I could have said Pelé, Ronaldo the Brazilian, Maradona…”

He also mentions Cristiano Ronaldo, his youth idol: “It would have been cool to play with him, I think it will be difficult now. But I played against him quite a few times, he’s a legend of the sport. I had the chance to play with Messi, I never thought I would have this chance. I can tell you that he is a unique player, like Cristiano. We have sometimes trivialized what they did. »

Between two questions about his beginnings at Bondy, his vision of inclusiveness in football, his music or his favorite dish, he was notably asked about the Olympic Games, and the possibility of seeing him compete in four years in Los Angeles. “Four years is a long time, huh! I don’t know what’s going to happen. There were Games at home which were a great success, it went incredibly well. We gave a great image of our country. We have to see what state I will be in physically and mentally in four years, but the Games are a special competition. »
