Kylian Mbappé became the owner of the covers of major European media after receiving the best player of the year award awarded by Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai. After leaving the stage, the Frenchman reserved time to give interviews to different media.
In addition to his statements to CNN, in which he recognized that will end the season at PSG to later resolve his future, the young forward also spoke to the Italian newspaper The Gazzetta dello Sport, where he touched on other topics such as the chemistry he has with Messi and Neymar, and the competition that exists under the three suits with the arrival of Gianluigi Donnarumma.
“It is normal that there were high expectations regarding us (the most expensive trident on the planet). Everybody expects wonders when a team can have players of level size. But do not forget the episodes that have delayed some things “, lamented the Frenchman, who considered that they have not yet reached their maximum potential at the group level.

“Neymar’s injury, Messi’s lack of adaptation and some difficulties in team play”Are some of the setbacks that hit the offensive trident. “But when you have the opportunity to play with these kinds of players, you can only have confidence. Playing with them is an incredible opportunity for me and I’m looking forward to Neymar coming back because I think we can do great things with him in the second half of the season, “he said.
In addition to The flea, another of the world-class reinforcements that arrived at the Parisian team was Gianluigi Donnarumma, from Milan. The Italian press also consulted him about the tough competition that exists under the three suits with the Costa Rican Keylor Navas: “Gigio has adapted very quickly, but It is clear that he is living a new experience because with us there is another world-class goalkeeper like Navas ”.
“It may not be an easy situation, but it is an advantage for PSG to have two goalkeepers of this caliber. Beyond it all, the path of Gigio It is already drawn, it represents the future but also the present. I was lucky enough to play with Tooth (Buffon) and yes Gigio he continues to work hard, there is no reason to think that he will not do the same ”, he considered.

Regarding his future, the 23-year-old was always on the same line of answers: “In the second half of the year you have to focus on the field, on football. The most important thing is this, the second half of the season, which is when you win trophies. So I think this is not the time to talk about my future. Everyone knows that I am a great player, and as such, my job is also to be talked about on the field. Then, of course, the situation will have to be addressed, because time passes, but right now the future is not my priority ”.
Finally, he was also consulted about the historic decision that is being considered in FIFA to reduce the World Cup events from four to two years and on this, like Robert Lewandowski, he was against: “Yes to the Var, no to the World Cup every two years.”
Regarding this, he was given a choice between which trophy he would prefer to raise in 2022; the Champions League or the World Cup: “Winning the first Champions League with PSG would be incredible, but winning another World Cup with France would be unique. I will try to do both because I have the opportunity to play for two high-level teams. Better not choose ”, he concluded.
