Some statements from Kylian Mbappe in the docuseries
Kylian Mbappe said: “If you visualize you miss a shot before the goal, you’ll lose 50% of your confidence and you need 100% of your confidence to score a goal.
“When you think about your future, you’ll realize you have always something more to do, if you want to have success, we need us as a team and you have one team in the world, I cannot change a word alone, I can do one step and everybody do one step also, that helps as grow like a team.”
The docu-series aims to inspire young adults and football players by exploring various aspects of individual life.
Meanwhile, Mbappe’s future remains uncertain, with ongoing discussions about his contract extension with PSG and potential interest from Real Madrid.
Mbappe to Real Madrid?
Based on reports from MARCA, the French international, has reportedly finalized his contract with Real Madrid.
However, his plans beyond June 2024, when his contract with Paris Saint-Germain ends, remain uncertain due to Mbappé’s maintained secrecy.
Mbappé expressed his desire to have his future resolved before the start of the European Championship in Germany on June 14, emphasizing his focus on the national team during the tournament.
Despite speculation, Mbappé clarified that he is yet to make any announcements because there is nothing to disclose, challenging journalists to observe his recent performances for any signs of distraction.
Jerome Rothen, a former PSG player and commentator for RMC Sport, ventured to comment on Mbappé’s delay in announcing his future, confidently asserting that Mbappé will sign with Real Madrid.
Rothen predicted that Mbappé would unveil his decision either after PSG or Real Madrid’s elimination from the Champions League, suggesting that the timing of the announcement hinges on the possibility of a PSG-Real Madrid match.
The Champions League quarter-finals are set to commence shortly, with Real Madrid facing Manchester City on April 9 and PSG taking on Barcelona on April 10, 2024.
Depending on the outcomes of these matches and the subsequent second legs on April 16 and 17, Rothen’s theory may be validated.
However, if neither team is eliminated, the wait may extend to the semi-finals on April 30 and May 7, or even the final in June.
Despite ongoing talks and interest from various parties, including PSG coach Luis Enrique, Mbappe’s next career move remains uncertain.
