Real Madrid player and captain of the France team, Kylian Mbappé recently spoke about his relationship with Ethan, his brother, who joined LOSC during the summer.
Having withdrawn from television sets and radio broadcasts for almost a year, Kylian Mbappé accepted Mouloud Achour's invitation on “Clique”, broadcast on Canal+ this Sunday, December 8. He opened up on many subjects, and in particular on certain family aspects: “If I had the time to say that I loved those close to me these last ten years? Yes, to my mother, my father, to my little brother, even more now that he is injured at the moment, to my loved ones. I always try to be there for them. Even though I am in the light, I am still Kylian”he began.
This light is sometimes bright, too bright that it becomes burning and fans the flames of certain controversies of all kinds. This is, in a way, the other side of the coin, that of success: “My parents, it’s difficult, but they are adults. My little brother, he was known at seven years oldhe remembers. It all started when I arrived in Paris. He was only ten years old, but signed autographs. But which autograph?he exclaims. He doesn't even have a signature. He would make a scribble and people would thank him. Even he, with his little voice, said that he didn't have one. He had a super high voice when he was little. Now he's taller than me, he's a good man.”laughs Kylian Mbappé, who is still adapting to his new environment in Madrid.
“If I’m on the field facing Ethan? I sweep it away »
Relaxed and smiling, Kylian Mbappé answered each question with serenity, perfectly well prepared for the exercise. However, he was gradually losing that smile. In addition to simple autographs, which have become amusing anecdotes, certain excesses of this intense light have had a major impact on the career of young Ethan Mbappé, now a resident of LOSC:
« People made him pay for things because they were angry with me. I think that's the thing that affected me the most.”he explains.
“He didn’t ask for anything. His Real Madrid was Paris Saint-Germain. His childhood dream was PSG and I, indirectly, took that away from himcontinues Kylian Mbappé. It's not me, but I felt that way. I apologized all the time, but he refused. He told me that he didn't want to stay (at PSG) after what he had done to me. I even told him that I could extend to Paris if it bothered him. He told me no, never in life. I could have given up my dream of playing for Real Madrid and stayed in Paris for my little brother. I can stay politically correct, but you don't touch Ethan. What's the point of being the greatest if you kill your brother's career?castigates the French international.
New start at LOSC
Summer recruit from LOSC, Ethan Mbappé (17 years old) is currently suffering from a ruptured quadriceps. This glitch forced him to withdraw from the duel between his teammates, the Mastiffs, and the stars of Real Madrid and his brother, Kylian: “If you’re on the field facing Ethan? I sweep it away. We were supposed to play against each other in Lille, but he got injured the day before the match.”concludes the Madrilenian, who found a smile again with this question. He carefully follows the evolution of his little brother in the North where he tries and will try to write his own story.
Arriving free in Lille, Ethan Mbappé has played 4 matches (80 minutes) in all competitions under the northern colors since his arrival. His return from injury is planned for 2025, after the winter break.
