On the evening of July 4th, French star Mbappe attended the pre-match press conference for the European Cup quarter-final against Portugal, and talked about the upcoming clash with his childhood idol Ronaldo.
About facing Ronaldo
It’s an honour, everyone knows my admiration for Ronaldo, and we are still in touch now. He is still a legend, but we also want to win tomorrow’s game.
What do I envy him about? You need to know how to appreciate him both now and in the past. He is a unique player, there is only one Ronaldo, and I just want to follow my own path. I hope to write a great chapter at Real Madrid, but it’s different from Ronaldo.
The key to this game
The European Cup is a highly competitive tournament, only the strong teams are here, so details will decide everything, plus you need to train hard. We hope to reach the semi-finals, we have been improving in training and we are ready.
Can you win the championship?
I can’t predict the future. We will give our all at every stage, we will play with the belief of winning, and now we are only focused on Portugal.
About dropping back in the game
A striker needs to constantly adapt to his teammates. We had a different player before, that’s Pogba, every time you want the ball, he can pass the ball accurately to your feet, which reduces our dropping back.
About his physical condition
I don’t think I’m in my best shape, but I’ve never been a player who likes to make excuses. I need to be physically ready, but that’s something I need to resolve with Real Madrid later.
About Griezmann
He has been criticized too much lately, I think it’s difficult and unfair for him, especially when the criticism comes from within the country.
He is going through a tough period, but we also need to support him, he has given a lot to this national team. Those people are like throwing him on the street and then biting him, which makes me feel bad too, because he has always given his all for France and has always had the right attitude. We will help him, he is an important member.
