Officialized as the new star of Real Madrid on Monday evening, Kylian Mbappé was present in front of the media. But from the outset, the captain of the Blues warned: “It’s an immense pleasure, a dream come true. It’s a lot of emotion. I am very happy, liberated and relieved and extremely proud. It’s the club I always dreamed of being at, so a big thank you (…) I know it’s not fair to the journalists, it’s not fair to you, but I will only respond: to questions about selection ».
But if Kylian Mbappé (25 years old) preferred to avoid questions about his new club, he frankly settled his accounts with Paris Saint-Germain. “It’s a big relief, I’m very happy, I think it’s easy to see on the face. I played a lot less at the end of the season and everyone knows why. That’s how it is, you have to adapt when you’re a high-level player (…) I attacked this season with a different ambition and requirement. I thought I was never going to play. I know there have been seasons better than this, but this was the hardest to play. When I know what I had to go through and endure, it’s the best season of my career.”.
“Things and people have made me unhappy”
Before going further on his last season at PSG: “I was made to understand (that I would not play with Paris), they said it to my face, they spoke to me violently, they also told me through the media. Luis Enrique and Luis Campos saved me. I wouldn’t have set foot on the field again without them. It’s the truth, that’s why I’ve always had this recognition from the coach and the sports director. I hear the criticism. I think I’m the best person who analyzes my performance so it’s definitely lower in my standards. But playing was a source of great pride.”he then blurted out.
Finally, Kylian Mbappé finished by ensuring that he was happy with his time at PSG, but do not forget that “people made him unhappy”. “That would be a spit in the face of the people who defended me, I have always been happy. A player like me couldn’t show it, because I am a leader. The coach, the players and the employees of the club supported me. It would be a bit of a “bastard” to come and spit and say that I was unhappy. But things and people have made me unhappy, yes”added the captain of the Blues, now freed from a season which seems to have damaged him mentally.
