The summit meeting between the two young monuments has taken place. It took place in the secret corridors of the Parc des Princes and it has not yet filtered. This Sunday, October 16, among all the others, there was a fan of choice to support PSG: Victor Wembanyama, the new basketball star.
A few hours after his victory at Le Mans with the Mets 92 from Boulogne-Levallois, the 2.21m giant came to the Parc for the clasico PSG – Marseille. This must have reminded him of his youth which is not so far away because the future number 1 choice for the NBA draft in 2023 did not start sport with basketball but with football at Chesnay where he was born. Asked by the PSG TV channel, “Wemby” as the NBA nicknames him expressed his admiration for Kylian Mbappé. The two men, it is true, do not lack points in common. At 18, the age of the basketball player today, the world champion striker was also already a star expected by the whole planet. “I realize that we have a lot in common, recognizes the Metropolitans player. Kylian is the player who inspires me the most when it comes to football. He is someone in whom I find myself a lot. Nevertheless, I want to be original and chart my own path.
NBA fan too, Kylian Mbappé must carefully follow the birth of the Wembanyama phenomenon which continues to ignite the planet. His next game with the Mets this Friday, October 21 against Blois in Levallois is already sold out. And it will be like this all season: “I have always been a football fan, continues the future NBA player. I did it myself a few years ago. I was goalkeeper. Now that I play in the Paris region, it’s almost a weekly meeting for me to come and see PSG. »
