🗣️Kylian Mbappé:
“People calling me a dictator? Nah, it doesn’t bother me at all. 😂 Even my teammates in the France squad joke about it we all just laugh.
When you look at Cristiano Ronaldo, he was called all sorts of names during his time at Real Madrid, and even now. People labeled him arrogant, selfish, egotistical, and more. But he never took any of it personally or let it affect him. Instead, he used it as motivation to become even better.
I try to learn a lot from him, and it’s really helped me in my career. No matter what people say about me, especially fans, I don’t care because whether you perform well or not, people will always have something to say.
I’ve learned so much from Ronaldo, and I’ll keep learning because he’s always been my idol since I was a kid.”
❤️🇺🇾 While many World Cup stars are greeted by luxury cars when they arrive home, Uruguay's Maximiliano Araújo's ride was a little different.
His family turned up to collect him from Carrasco Airport in their pickup truck. 🛻
He threw his bags in the back, climbed into the truck bed, and headed home with the people who have been there from the very beginning.
A brilliant reminder that no matter how far football takes you, you should never forget where you come from. 👏
