France is seen by all as the main contender to triumph in the 2026 World Cup. French striker and leader of the "roosters", Kylian Mbappe, has sent a clear message ahead of the next engagement of the French national team, placing the team's success above personal achievements.
In an interview with French media, the Real Madrid striker stated that he would accept without hesitation not to score a single goal if it would bring France triumph in the competition. "Winning the World Cup without me scoring a single goal? I would sign it immediately with an indelible pen. We want to write history, because we haven't achieved anything yet."
Mbappé, who is experiencing an increasingly important role as a team leader, also stressed the importance of managing emotions at major international tournaments. "I'm becoming an experienced player. It's a pleasure to lead the younger ones. I won't teach them how to play football, but how to manage the emotions of a World Cup. When the whole world is watching you, you have to know how to stay calm. It's essential that everyone can express their maximum potential. Building a team means bringing people together, so no one should feel left out."
The French striker also commented on the UEFA Champions League Final, revealing that he had been a fan of Paris Saint-Germain. According to him, a success for the Parisian club would also help the atmosphere in the France camp, as several national team players are active with PSG.
