Kylian Mbappe was France’s hero, scoring twice in a 3-1 win over Poland in the last 16 of the World Cup.
Mbappe has already scored five goals in the World Cup and is the top scorer ahead of a number of players who have scored three goals each, including Messi, Morata, Giroud, Rashford, Saka, Gakpo…
The PSG striker excels and with him in the team, France can hope to defend the title of world champion, and in the quarter-finals, France expects a duel with England, who defeated Senegal 3:0 tonight.
“Of course this World Cup is an obsession, it’s my dream competition,” Mbappe told reporters after his side reached the quarter-finals, but added that France were now a long way from their goal.
“In the end we won and we are very happy to continue the adventure. I would also like to say that there were a lot of questions about not showing up at press conferences. “I have nothing against journalists, but I have this need to focus on the competition. When I want to focus on something, I have to do it 100 percent, not to waste my energy elsewhere,” added Mbappe.
He also said that he will pay the fines himself because he does not attend press conferences. Until now, those fines had to be paid by the French Football Federation.
“I undertake to pay the fine myself.” “The federation must not pay for a decision that is mine,” added Mbappe.
