🚨 Pep Guardiola on Phil Foden: “Zero concerns over his form”.
“He’s won six Premier Leagues, a lot of things, his contribution to what we have done is incredible”.
“What happened is a normal process in a long, long, long career. And the moment he will make a click and turn, he'll be back to what he is”.
🚨 Kylian Mbappé: "After the 2021 Euro, when I missed that penalty vs Switzerland, I wanted to LEAVE FRENCH NT!
I noticed that I had put France very, very high on my priorities, but as soon as I failed, a lot of people started calling me a m*nkey for it, and insulting me.
And I asked myself, are these the people I'm fighting for on the pitch?
I remember my vacation after, I was a total zombie. I fell from very high, because my first tournament with France was the 2018 World Cup, I won it, I was some sort of national hero, I was very young, so I was saying "wow, France NT is so cool! This is so much fun!", and the next tournament, you take that in the face, it's hard.
So I went to FFF president after the tournament, and I told him I don't want to play for France anymore.
It's fine to be criticized, to be praised, whatever. But I realized I was playing for people who will call me a m*nkey if I don't score. So I said I can't play for these people. And he told me: "You really think I'm just gonna let you leave this office? (laughs), just forget it."
🚨 Kylian Mbappé: “Messi? He does everything perfectly.
Let me tell you a little story, we were doing a finishing drill in Paris…
Neymar and I were at the top of the pack. He arrived, we made 10 groups, Neymar and I scored 6 or 7. Messi hit 9 times , he scored the same goal 9 times.”
