One by one, Kylian Mbappé introduced his teammates. In an interview with West France, the captain of the Blues took part in the game of anecdotes, personal analyzes, or the transmission of messages on his 24 teammates in the France team. The French number 10 notably mentioned his complicity with William Saliba (25 years old), the other Bondynois in the team. The Arsenal defender and the neo-Madrilenian have formed a friendship since they were very young.
“So him!” I’ve known him since we were little. Everything, everything, very small. We were in the same primary school, in Bondy. We played football together in the playground. He was in CE1, we were in CM2, but he always asked to play with us. We accepted him because he was already big! (smile) Then, my father trained him at AS Bondy (…). Seeing him arrive in the selection, going from Bondy to the Blues, made me really happy. I tried to integrate him into the group as best as possible. This season he has become a very important player at Arsenal and is among the best central defenders in the Premier League. For me, he has all the qualities to ultimately be a starter for the Blues (…). I look at his journey with the pride of a big brother”he threw at his teammate.
