On July 2nd at 00:00, France will face Belgium in the Round of 16 of the European Championship. Before the game, France captain Mbappé attended the press conference.
Broken nose
“I didn’t feel my nose break. When I collided with the defender, I told myself something happened. When I looked in the mirror, I thought the European Championship was over for me. I’m happy to still be here. It’s actually uncomfortable because it’s very swollen and that’s what keeps me from sleeping. I didn’t play against the Netherlands, I was unhappy because it’s hard to be on the bench and not be able to help the team. I was able to play against Poland and I’m happy that I can now help my teammates.”
Playing with a broken nose
“When you play with a broken nose and don’t have surgery, it’s different. I don’t think Lewandowski intentionally hit my nose the other day. I knew what would happen to me when I decided not to have surgery. I might get hit, the pain will continue. I’ll do my best to lead France to the top.”
Round of 16 opponent Belgium
“They lost to Slovakia, but we didn’t win against Austria or the Netherlands. They lost some important players, a new generation is emerging, they want to create history, it’s a threat. We know what kind of team we are going to face, they have many great players. We can’t wait for the game. No one thinks we’re going to win just because we beat them in 2018.”
Whether he will text his future teammate Courtois
“I haven’t joined Real Madrid’s social chat group yet, I hope it won’t be long (laughs). I haven’t talked to Courtois yet, I know him, but I really haven’t talked to him.”
