When attending the pre-match press conference for France's home World Cup qualifying match against Ukraine, Mbappe talked about himself and the team's personnel situation.
Talking about his growth between 2024 and 2025
"Whether it is as an individual or a player, you always have to continue to grow. I always strive to improve myself. I hope that I will be stronger in 2026 than in 2025."
Talking about Kanter
"He is a very important player, and he can bring great benefits to his teammates on the court. Confidence, he is a valuable asset to any team, and I am very happy that he can return to the team. Although this team is already very strong, he can still bring valuable experience to this young team."
Talking about Shelki
"He is a special talent. In my opinion, he is extremely talented and is being fully demonstrated. This is an innate and amazing talent. He has integrated well into the team and life at Manchester City, which is not easy. Hopefully he can continue this form. He has had a good start with us and now that he is back here, hopefully he can be as good as he was at Manchester City. But I am not sure whether he will play next year, but he knows his responsibilities, whether it is the starting 11 or the substitute 5, he has to prove that he is worthy of playing. "
Talk about qualifying for the World Cup
"When you play a national team game at home, especially when it comes to qualifying for the World Cup, the pressure will be even greater."
Talk about Chevalier's mistakes
"Paris is the greatest club in France and one of the top clubs in Europe. We will not. Focus on what you didn't do, but on what you did. He made mistakes, which is normal. I think he will adapt. The club and teammates trust him. Paris is a higher-level stage. It is normal to encounter difficulties. He will overcome it."
Talking about the game against Ukraine
"It was difficult when we played against them last time. They chose to defend low in the first half and launched a fierce attack in the second half. We played very fiercely with them, and if the football is fair, they should have scored, so this time it will not be an easy game. They have not given up on qualifying. Our goal is very clear, that is, we must win. We will continue to improve the team's tactical deployment and ensure that the rhythm of the game is in our own hands. The team also needs to show courage and play with the momentum of the home fans. The most perfect night."
Talk about being the captain of the team
"It all happened naturally, but when I first became captain, I gradually grew up and experienced some things. I tried to integrate myself into the team, serve my teammates, and try my best to be the best leader and lead everyone to win the highest honor-the World Cup championship."
Talk about adapting to different tactical systems
"I'm just here to play football. I don't think different tactical systems have had a big impact on my performance. We should look at the problem from another angle: How can I contribute to the team according to the specific situation? As one of the players with the most appearances in the national team, I should work harder to create space for my teammates to play."
