After three weeks of continuous silence, Kylian Mbappe decided to break his silence at a press conference to focus solely on winning the World Cup
The striker, who scored two goals and assisted in the victory over Poland, admitted in the press room at Al-Thumama Stadium that his silence had nothing to do with the journalists, in addition to assuming the entire fine that Al-Ittihad had to impose. He paid the price for not making a mandatory public appearance when he was named man of the match
The Paris Saint-Germain star said: “I wanted to express myself in public. I know there have been a few questions as to why he hasn’t spoken. For all the journalists there, there was nothing personal against them or anyone. It’s just that I still have to focus on the championship and when I want to focus on something, I have to do it 100% and not waste energy on other things. That’s why I didn’t want to be in the media. I recently found out that the union will charge a fine. I promise to pay for it personally.. The federation should not pay for a personal decision
The Paris Saint-Germain star also added that the World Cup is an obsession for him: “Of course the World Cup is an obsession, it is my dream competition, I have the opportunity to play it, I built my season based on this matter. Competition and mentality. I wanted to arrive prepared and so far it is going well, but we are still far from the goal that we set for ourselves and that I set for myself, which is to win
