Kylian Mbappé appeared as a guest on the show “Universo Valdano,” where he shared his thoughts on Lamine Yamal.
Excerpts from the conversation have already surfaced online, although the full episode will be released on October 12 on Movistar Plus+. In one of the published clips, the French striker focused on the young player, emphasizing his outstanding abilities on the field.
Mbappé pointed out that the discussion of Yamal’s personal life has crossed acceptable boundaries. According to him, it is important to focus on the player’s athletic achievements rather than his actions off the pitch. He reminded everyone that Lamine is only 18, and at that age mistakes are inevitable. The French forward believes that a passion for football is the main quality to preserve, and everything else belongs to private life.
Mbappé expressed confidence that Yamal will determine what is important for himself and will learn from his own experience. He stressed that what matters most is evaluating a player by his performance on the field, not outside it, unless it’s about serious misconduct. In Kylian’s opinion, Lamine has tremendous potential and will be able to realize himself as he sees fit. In conclusion, Mbappé wished the young footballer success in his future career.
In another part of the interview, Mbappé touched on his relationship with Vinicius. He stated that the rumors of conflicts between them are not true. According to the striker, their communication has improved this year, as they have grown closer and understand each other better. Mbappé emphasized that both are united by a single goal—to bring victories to their club.
The French footballer added that he sees nothing unusual in discussions about possible disagreements between well-known players. He believes that such discussions are part of a professional athlete’s life, especially for players of this caliber. Mbappé assured that if there were any serious problems, he would not hide them, but at present, there is no cause for concern.
