“Libertè, egalitè, Mbappé”. This is the title that the French edition of Vanity Fair chose for the interview with Kylian MbappeFrench footballer from Real Madrid who heavily attacks the leader of the Lepenista French right Jordan Bardellaa great favorite for the Elysée elections, Mbappe had already sided against Bardella by inviting them not to vote for Rassemblement National, now he reiterates the concept by coming down heavily explaining to French voters why in his opinion they shouldn’t vote for him. “I know what people like Bardella are capable of doing and for this reason, for the good of France, I hope he is not elected.”
The reply
On the first occasion Bardella replied to Mbappe claiming that “These billionaire footballers who get involved in politics don’t know what people’s real problems are which doesn’t make it to the end of the month.” This time the French politician recalls the footballer’s latest failures. “But I know what happened to PSG after Mbappé left Paris. The club won a Champions League almost two)”. Mbappe says he speaks as a French citizen and does not share the idea that footballers should not get involved in politics. But it is not a great moment for Kylian who is often at the center of controversy at Real Madrid, a club with which he has scored many goals this season but without managing to become the leader and above all without bringing home trophies which are the most important thing for Florentino Perez’s club. And then Mbappé is criticized for his role within the Madrid dressing room, it would be detrimental to the teammates he invites to run little, not to defend and to go on holiday with his girlfriend while the club plays if you are injured. In short, someone who only thinks about his own business and that he is at a turning point in his career. After winning a World Cup at 19, his career did not develop as expected and PSG’s triumphs after his farewell are an open wound for him. The same method he carried out to leave the Parisian club in favor of Real Madrid, ignoring the will of the club, put him in a bad light in France. To recover, all he has to do is demonstrate his skill in the next World Cup, in which France will start among the favorites and Mbappé is the announced star.
