The French star has spoken about the derby in an interview with Diario As

Kylian Mbappé, a Real Madrid player, has spoken with José Félix Díaz, editor of Diario As, in a conversation from Zurich, where he went for the signing with On, his new sports brand. In this interview, the French star spoke about what happened in Atlético de Madrid 2-1 Real Madrid.

Is the defeat a step backward?

“Yes, yes, a step backward. Very difficult, we wanted to win, we knew what kind of match we were going to have. But the team gave everything and we move forward because there is still a very long way to go this season and we have to stay on the right path.”

The refereeing controversy

“I don’t think I’ve ever been a player who talks much about the referee. I’m not going to start now. I think things, but I keep them to myself. I’ve never been that kind of player and I’m not going to start now. The referee is human, he makes mistakes, which were mistakes, but I don’t want to get into that.”

Turning the situation around

“We have to work and do more. Others can talk, but we have to do more and work so that the excitement returns at Real Madrid and the titles come back too.”

The new era with Zidane in charge of the French national team

“It’s a new era with a new coach. The Nations League is coming, four matches and we’ll see how they go, and it’s going to be new for everyone because we’ve only ever had Deschamps. It will be a change for us, but I think everything will go very well.”

How does he see the Ballon d’Or race?

“I think I’ve already said everything about that. People weren’t happy when I talked too much about it, but that’s the way it is, that’s the way it is. I’m calm about it, calm. I’ve done everything I could and I think I’ve done it well. And now we wait.”
