“I want to win and then win more. If you see the world of football there are great players and if you fall asleep, anyone can take your job. I’m a lucky guy who plays for a great team and a great national team but I don’t look back, or what I’ve won, my goal is to keep winning. I want to make football history by following my path ”, he said.
In moments of receiving individual awards, Mbappé left words of gratitude to his family : “When you are a child it is very difficult to get out of home, leave your loved ones. I left with 12 years and I didn’t know if I was going to achieve something or what was going to happen ”.
“Soccer is my passion. It is a dream and it is what I always say to young people, if they have a dream, put your energy into achieving it. My family is my biggest fan, they have always been with me and I am eternally grateful to them. ”
Finally, in favor of VAR if there is no time left for the match, Mbappé ruled on the possibility of play World Cups every two years. “It is special because it is held every four years and that is why it is considered the best competition in the world. If it is played every two years it will become a normal competition and it should not be like that. There are many games a year. If the fans want to see quality games, footballers must have a break, “he said.
