Kylian Mbappé: 5 revelations made by the PSG star in Cameroon
1. Mbappe admitted that he is always ‘Unhappy’
)
While Mbappe was in Cameroon, an explosive interview where the French star seemingly hit out at the club was published by France Football.
According to the interview, the 24-year-old superstar forward admitted that he is far from pleased with himself despite his brilliant individual performances for club and country, and the slew of accolades he has received in that regard.
He told the outlet:
“People don’t like to say this but the profession is selfish, it’s yours, it’s what you leave as a legacy. I’m always unhappy, so I’m never impressed by what I do. This is the first key to my understanding.”.
2. Mbappe labelled PSG a ‘divisive’ club
)
According to the interview published by the aforementioned outlet, Mbappe said that PSG are a club that divides opinions, amid speculation over his future at the Parc de Princes.
“I think playing in PSG doesn't help much, because it's a divisive team, a divisive club. So, of course it attracts rumors, but it doesn't bother me, because I know what I'm doing and how I'm doing it.,” he said.
3. Mbappe had no answer to PSG’s Champions League struggles
)
Another talking point raised in the interview was PSG consistent struggles in Europe.
Having won the World Cup with France in 2018, Mbappe has won every nearly every trophy at club football level.
However, with PSG, the UEFA Champions League trophy seems to have evaded the prolific Frenchman despite his incredible efforts on the pitch.
)
He told France Football:
“I don't know what PSG is missing (to win the champions league), it's not a big question to me. We did what we could. You have to talk to people who build the team, organize the team, and build the club.
“ Im just trying to do my job the best I can. I could have performed better by my standards. But there is no magic even the other players tried their best. Sometimes in football you come across what they call a glass ceiling. I'm just trying to do my best.”
4. He admitted he isn’t bothered by people’s opinion of his performances
)
While Kylian Mbappe continues to be criticized over his personality, the French star also admitted the interview that he is never bothered by what people say about him or how critics try to downplay his achievements.
He said:
“Do people make my performances seem unimportant? Yes, but I don't blame them at the same time. They saw me growing up in France, every weekend or by choice they see me in Paris German.
“And I've been scoring a lot for years. So, for people, it's becoming normal. I have never complained about how unimportant my performances are. I myself considered what Messi and Cristiano were doing as unimportant. We are in a consumer society.”
5. Mbappe refused to respond to Al-Khelaifi’s ultimatum
)
Mbappe evaded questions on the topic of his future while he was in Yaounde, a further hint that his fairytale journey in France could be over.
When asked by journalists on the possibility of leaving the club this summer, he said as per Reuters:
)
"Kylian is in Cameroon at the moment and that is the most important thing." he said.

Meanwhile, the 24-year-old spoke on his projects in the Central African country, "We are pushing hard for a bright future in Cameroon," he said, adding that he had more youth projects in the pipeline.
