Journalist
After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial staff of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
Here is a new trophy for Kylian Mbappé. Indeed, the Real Madrid player was awarded the title of “French player of the year” by France Football. Having won in front of Willian Saliba, Mbappé only had a 5-point lead. It must be said that some voters did not give it any points. Starting with Karim Benzema.
This year, the title of “French player of the year”, awarded by France Footballwas tighter than ever. If Kylian Mbappé has won once again, Willian Lintasa was very close to the player Real Madrid. While the captain of theFrench team received 56 points from voters, the defender ofArsenal finished with 51 points. As explained by France Footballamong the 27 voters, 13 did not mention the name of Kylian Mbappé.
A relationship far from ideal between Benzema and Mbappé?
And among these 13, there are notably Karim Benzema. Who did the player vote for?Al-Ittihad ? We find Edward Camavinga in 1, Bradley Barcola in 2 and William Saliba in 3. No trace therefore of Kylian Mbappé. But how to explain this? This would be the result of the far from ideal relationship between the two compatriots. Indeed, as explained France Football, Benzema would have a certain enmity towards Mbappé.
KB9's advice
Despite these tensions which would therefore exist between Karim Benzema et Kylian Mbappéthis did not prevent KB9 from advising the new player of the Real Madrid to the difficulty among the Merengue. Indeed, recently, Benzema confided in particular about the situation of Mbappé : « Kylian Mbappé, you must not give up because I don't think they are going to make Vinicius move. It's the best in the world right now. We can't move it. They must make Mbappé understand that now he is a number 9 and that he is forgetting the left lane. He was always very good when he was on the left, but now he has to be very good in another position on the pitch. The pressure is very difficult. It's different from what happened to me, I was 21 years old. It's not the same as Mbappé at 25 years old. There is a lot of pressure at Real Madrid. If you don't score for 2 or 3 games, they will kill you. Mbappé must learn to live with pressure. It's very strong at Real Madrid. He has to score goals, they recruited him to score goals. He has the level and he has everything to do it ».
