Kylian Mbappé

“Kylian is unbelievably talented and he is a very positive person too. I've known him for some weeks now and I can say that he is very hungry to score goals and to win games. Even in training he is very competitive and he has that special skill to give the other players a positive mindset and to get them to improve their game. It's not easy to describe, but that's how it is. These are the things that make him unique. And it's just great that he is playing for our team.”

“Kylian Mbappé is the best player in the world. He can take a game away from someone. He’s got the ability to embarrass you, if he gets you out wide, a bit of skill, his touch, his pace, he can finish, he can take a game away.”

“Mbappé's playing style reminds me of myself at my peak.”

“He’s going to make history and surpass everyone.”

“Mbappé can become my heir, and I’m not kidding. I can see a lot of myself in his ability to play with speed. He’s an attacker who thinks quickly. When the ball arrives, he already knows what to do, he already has in his mind where to go.”

“He is amazing to play with and he has been a great teammate so far. It's brilliant playing with him and Vinicius Jr but it's difficult sometimes. You've only got two seconds cause they are both gone. I saw him do the feint and I just thought I'd leave him the area and he finishes like he always does. It's a joy to see up close.”

“First of all, I was very touched by the man he is. Kylian is very considerate, always happy, polite and kind to everyone. He is a very beautiful person. That’s why we’ve got along so well since our first contact. Then, of course, I had the opportunity to watch him train, to observe his speed, his dribbling repertoire, his intelligence and to see his humility to keep evolving. There, I said to myself: "he is our golden boy!"”

“He’s a beast, he’s very strong one-on-one, he finds space and he’s very quick. He can score a lot of goals, he’s a very complete player and he’s been showing that for years. In the next few years he’ll be among the very best, no doubt about it.”
