MADRID, 25 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The French international Kylian Mbappé wanted to qualify the words of his teammate and Real Madrid player Aurélien Tchouaméni, who on Sunday assured that the Spanish will see him “daily”, and has stated that he was referring to the fact that he will have to face to several Spanish teams in a row in the Champions League.
“I played against Real Sociedad, then I will play against Barcelona and then perhaps against Atlético de Madrid. They are going to see me a lot in Spain, that’s what I was referring to,” he declared at a press conference, addressing the statements that Tchouaméni made during an interview on the French sports program Téléfoot.
Then, the Madrid midfielder took Mbappé’s signing for the white team as a given. “I think the Spanish are really aware of what a great player he is, although, in my opinion, when they really see him on a daily basis, whether in training or in games, they will realize even more the greatness of the player,” Tchouaméni pointed out.
In another vein, the Paris Saint-Germain forward highlighted that “there are no doubts” in the national team despite the defeat in the friendly against Germany (0-2). “We played badly. I had the opportunity to play in many competitions; sometimes we were beaten and won the title, or we won all the friendly matches and then went home. The proof is that I played twice against Germany in a friendly match and we lost, and I played against them three times in an official match and never lost,” he recalled.
In addition, he acknowledged that they were “completely overwhelmed” against the German team. “It’s still a friendly match, but there were too many warnings, there were too many things that went wrong to beat a team like Germany. If we play like this in what awaits us, we will face big disappointments and we don’t want that to happen,” he said. stating that they must “react” this Tuesday against Chile. “We must look forward and realize that what we did was not enough,” he added.
However, he does not believe that the ‘bleus’ are less favorites in the Euro because of this setback. “If we had won 5-0, I wouldn’t have said that we were going to win the European Championship with the tip of our nose. Now I’m not saying that we’re going to disappoint either. It’s a warning, but we’re not going to throw everything away for a friendly match, although there are many lessons for the future,” he warned.
In another vein, he confessed that they are entering the most exciting period of the season. “They are games that everyone dreams of, that we have dreamed of since we were children. The child inside me is super excited to be in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, in the semifinals of the French Cup, on the way to being champion of France and preparing for the Euro Cup,” he stressed, before revealing what he expects from his reception at the Vélodrome. “If they whistle at me, I’ll understand, on Sunday there is Clásico and I’m a PSG player, that’s life. But if they don’t whistle at me, it will be a pleasant surprise,” he concluded.
