Dembélé, Cherki, Olise… Kylian Mbappé’s little sentences about the Blues

The World Cup started just under 48 hours ago. The French team still has to wait a little before entering the fray. It will be Tuesday (9 p.m. French time) and it’s a big entry, because it’s Senegal. All eyes are on Didier Deschamps’ men, rightly considered to be the favorites of this competition along with Spain, Argentina, England and Portugal. Having the best players is not always enough. The Tricolores know something about their history…

With a captain like Kylian Mbappé, and offensive elements like the Ballon d’Or Ousmane Dembélé, his possible successor Michael Olise, the Golden Boy Désiré Doué, the best hope in the Premier League, Rayan Cherki and even others, there is still enough to scare everyone. You also have to know how to articulate this whole collective, to balance it. “ To make history, you have to suffer and be willing to suffer », Said number 10 of the Blues on M6 Thursday evening, as a warning to his teammates before starting this World Cup.

Mbappé: “Rayan has a profile that is debated and will always be debated»

For the newspaper The Teamthe leader of the Blues presented everyone, and from which we selected a few pieces, starting with the one he is closest to, Ousmane Dembélé. “ We have a thousand WhatsApp groups together, the same interests. We experienced everything together. And we want to win a second World Cup together “, he assures. Not a word about their technical relationship sometimes criticized in the field, but their relationship in general, which according to him should “ evolve a little, because we have the same idiotic relationship » he jokes. The two friends have known each other since they were 13.

What about others, like Rayan Cherki who he is already close to? “ I know that Rayan has a profile which, at any given moment, is debated and will always be debated. Because he has everything. It has everything people love, but also everything people hate “, while emphasizing that he is a real talent and future major element of the team, where Michael Olise is ” the player of today and tomorrow “. “ Accept him as he is. He will never change “. And Désiré Doué, where to play him among these stars? “ Oh ! Difficult !exclaims Mbappé. For now, he can play in different positions: 8, right, left, false 9, and you have to use him “.
