He hadn't given a major interview since last January. The star footballer of Real Madrid and the French team Kylian Mbappé broke the silence on Sunday evening during the show Clique on Canal +.
The interview broadcast this Sunday in the show Clique on Canal + was recorded and of course mastered from A to Z by Kylian Mbappé and his communicators. For the French striker from Real Madrid, there was a certain urgency to speak out after a difficult start to the season, on the pitch, with his new club, but especially outside with the allegations from several Swedish tabloids involving him in a rape investigation. “I was surprised. I'm always surprised by the way. These are things that happen that you don't see coming. I received nothing, no summons. I read the same thing as everyone else. The Swedish government has said nothing. I am not concerned,” explained the captain of the France team, who had not yet spoken out about this affair which began in October.
The Swedish prosecutor's office announced on October 15 that it was conducting an investigation into rape after the visit of Kylian Mbappé and his entourage to Stockholm, without naming any names. Asked whether he would attend a possible summons from the Swedish justice system, the Blues star said he had “no idea” of the identity of the complainant, even if he admitted to having had a relationship with a young woman.. “If justice summons me, I will simply go. » “It wasn't even a party,” he said.

Perhaps in the interest of appeasement, at least towards the supporters, the top scorer in the history of PSG claimed to always watch the matches of his former club. “When they lose, I know how difficult it is….I have always kept this connection”, he insisted even if it was his nervous smile when Mouloud Achour asked him if he believed PSG capable of keeping the Champions League which risks going around the world.

Because yes, the player seemed comfortable in his sneakers, even when the subject of possible depression was raised. “Of course I've had problems, exhaustion, troubles, but I'm not depressed, and people shouldn't say that because a lot of people really suffer from depression and we need to help those people . » “When I go back (home), I play the play (station) and it’s fine! “, he declared, with a smile.
Frying on the line with Didier Deschamps
Ultimately, it was the subject of the French team that seemed the most thorny. If he did not directly attack Didier Deschamps, the Blues coach, the unease is perceptible between the two men. “The French team has always been the highest level in football. My love of the France team has not changed. Yes, I miss it, because it’s been a long time since I’ve been there,” said the 2018 world champion, who missed the last two gatherings.

I understand that that is not enough for you,” explained Didier Deschamps at the beginning of November.
