It may have taken a little longer than expected, but here we are. On Sunday night against Betis, Kylian Mbappé scored twice; his first goals with the Merengues in La Liga. To his great delight, of course, but also to that of a Bernabéu that gave him a huge ovation when he was replaced a few minutes from the end of the match. And after the match, the Bondynois went to the mixed zone to chat with the Spanish journalists.
“It’s a great moment, I was waiting to score in this legendary stadium, the best in the world. But the important thing was the victory, after Las Palmas it was important to win. I feel good, I’ve been saying it since I arrived: I’m happy. People show me a lot of love, even when I didn’t score, three games without scoring for some is not much but for me it is, the people at the club and the fans have supported me, they give me the confidence to give everything for this club”a smiling Mbappé first said.
He is on cloud nine
He was then asked about his positioning, with some believing he would be better suited to the left wing than the front of the attack. “As I said during my presentation, I can play in all 3 positions in attack, like at PSG, Monaco or in the national team. My position is a debate for people outside, I don’t think about it. Since the first match we have progressed as a team and we will continue like that. I have no pressure (on comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo, Editor’s note), it’s football. Everyone knows the respect I have for Cristiano, but I come to be Kylian. The only pressure I have is to adapt to the team.”the Frenchman replied.
“The demands of the Bernabéu don’t surprise me, I come from Paris, it’s always like that when you don’t win at a big club. It’s part of life, we know that it can happen, and it doesn’t affect us, today we won and the people were incredible with us. My adaptation? Do I have to give you a date (laughs)? I know that when a player like me arrives at a club, a lot of things change, I’m not crazy, but I really think we’ve progressed. I feel good and I know that I can be better, and the team can also be better.”concluded a rather talkative Kylian Mbappé in front of our Iberian colleagues. The Madrid adventure of the French star is finally launched.
