Kylian Mbappé has taken his position in the French political debate clearly, sharply, making it clear without equivocation which side he is on, and especially which side he would like France to be on: “I share Marcus’ values. We are still in a country where there is freedom of speech: he has expressed his opinion and I agree with him in everything. I hope, on July 7 (the day of the second round of the legislative, ed.), I can still be proud to wear the jersey of France.”
“We are at a crucial moment in the history of our country, it is an unprecedented situation. We must have a clear sense of our priorities: we are citizens, we must not remain disconnected from the world. I want to address the French people: we are a generation that can make a difference, extremisms are at the doorstep, we have a chance to choose the future of our country. I call on all young people to vote, to become aware of the importance of the situation. I hope my voice will serve, but the voice of every French person matters. On July 7, I hope I can still be proud to wear the jersey of France.”
“There are priorities. Tomorrow’s game is important, but there is a more important situation than tomorrow’s game, which we have prepared in the best possible way anyway. We should not be disconnected from the world and in any case we will be there to defend our country’s colors. But we are experiencing a different situation and we have to adapt.”
“As a team we thought about doing something. We talked a lot about the message we could give, also to protect the younger ones: it’s difficult for them to come here and express themselves in front of journalists and take a stand on an issue they don’t fully master. We wanted to protect these kids, who don’t give the impression that they give a damn at all. Nobody gives a damn within the team.”
