After being presented with an impressive debut at the Bernabeu on the afternoon of July 16 (Vietnam time) by Real Madrid club, Kylian Mbappe had his first press conference as a player of the Royal team.
I am a Real Madrid player, it has been a dream since I was a child. You can't pay for your dreams, Mbappe sent a meaningful message after leaving PSG to join the team he always wanted to join.
Receiving a lot of attention, Mbappe's press conference mentioned many issues.
Efforts to become a reality
"I feel honored. I am a Real Madrid player, that is my childhood dream. A priceless dream. That is a great happiness for me and my family. Everything I did to get here went through many stages".
Time to make the decision
"The exact moment was since I was a kid. It's easy. It was a dream. Then there is a goal. My destiny is to play for Real Madrid".
What's the end?
"I came with modesty, to the best club in the world, but with ambition. These are the values of the club. The priority now is to adapt well to the team as quickly as possible.
Competition location
"I will play wherever the coach wants. The most important thing is to be physically and mentally fit. Where to play is a detail, not a debate. I have met the coach and we have not talked about where I will play."
Who do you want to hang out with?
"I hope to play with everyone, but when you come to Real Madrid, you play with great players. I am very happy to meet them".
First memories as a Real Madrid fan
"A lot, but I think Zidane is very important as a Frenchman. After that, I watched the matches of idol Cristiano. It's a good thing to be a child with a dream and now to be here. It is a privilege."
This moment may never come
"I'm always sure my chance will come. I know that when I leave Paris, I will go to Madrid".
Nose injury
"We have spoken to the club's medical team and will wait for the results to see what needs to be done. I'm sure I'll play in the Super Cup, but that depends on the coach. This will be my first title and I look forward to competing".
Which teammates in Madrid are the most convincing?
"The French have told me a lot. Vinicius also sent me a message 'let's go to Madrid, we'll score together'. I don't need those messages to know that this is the best team in the world, but it's a joy to feel loved."
Criticism from Real Madrid fans in 2022
"It's part of football. People love you very much and sometimes they get angry even more. But as I said, the affection they have for me is amazing. That's why I want to give everything to this club."
Real Madrid's historical weight
"You are in a historical, legendary club. That was a big burden on her shoulders. But I consider it a privilege. I hope to reach the level of this club.
Cristiano Ronaldo
"R Ronaldo has always been my idol. I am lucky that he is now my friend. We talked a lot and he gave me a lot of advice. He told me to work hard and keep my passion for games.
Champions League and Ballon d'Or
"There is no better place than Madrid to win titles. But the important thing is to adapt well. If I can do that, the rest will come naturally. Winning everything is a goal, but a long-term goal".
No. 9... and No. 10 of Modric
"We have number 10, that is Luka Modric. I am proud to be around him in the dressing room. The important thing for me is what is in front, the goal. The number behind is not important. For me, whether 9 or 48 is not the most important thing.
Learning Spanish
"I learned it at school. I'm not the best student in school, but I'm fluent in Spanish."
