After playing the proximity card with Kylian Mbappé in a video with YouTubers McFly and Carlito, French President Emmanuel Macron once again praises the world champion.
In the newspaper The team of Thursday, January 6, the President describes a person “far from drifts” of fame, who keeps “to be wise” and who engages outside of sport “for vaccination” and “against violence”.
“I am sure of one thing: he will continue to amaze us”, writes the Head of State in a column published by the sports daily on the occasion of the release of the ranking of “30 who make French football”, whose first place is occupied by the striker of the Blues and Paris Saint-Germain.
He wishes the player to constitute himself “the most beautiful record in European football” but also “to continue to enchant the public with his jubilant gestures, his brilliant passes and his magical goals”.
Emmanuel Macron also greets the young man of 23 years who, “embodies the calm, the quiet ambition, the gaze towards the stars but the head on the shoulders”.
“So Kylian Mbappé never forgets to come back to Seine-Saint-Denis”, the poorest department in France north-east of Paris, “and in particular at Bondy, where it all began for him” and where he created a social association.
“He chose the risk of commitment. For vaccination, against violence, in communion with the emotions of the country: Kylian Mbappé has a rare awareness of his role, the weight of his words, the force of his actions”, adds the French President. In concluding that he has “demonstrated the qualities of the greatest: lucidity, courage, resistance”.
