Kylian Mbappé at Monaco-PSG on January 15, 2020. - VALERY HACHE / AFP

"What a guy!" »(« What a man! »), This is how the very measured BBC ignited exceptionally in her tweet to promote the exclusive interview that granted her Kylian Mbappé. On the sidelines of the presentation of its new association "Inspired by KM", the number 7 of PSG confided in the British media in an English so perfect. This is an opportunity for us to quickly sweep the underside of a com 'perfectly mastered by the international tricolor.

My tailor is rich. You will have noticed by watching the video, when Kylian Mbappé embarks on an interview in English, we are thousands of miles from the legendary Nabil Fékir and his delicious "I recup the ball" released on the microphone of the English media. "I don't know if he's taking lessons, but he's doing very well. Perhaps it comes from his taste for American culture. What is certain is that it is a big plus in terms of communication and marketing, ”explains Adrien Naude of the agency My Sport Agency.

Mbappé superstar. It is not we who say it, it is the player himself. “When I arrived here [at PSG] at 18, I was a talent but not a superstar. Now I'm a superstar, thanks to PSG and the national team, ”agrees Mbappé in a relaxed manner. So, boulard or not boulard? Some will not hesitate to find this punchline a bit haughty, but you have to know what you want. When a player makes his tongue out, we are the first to fall on him. Let us therefore appreciate the sincerity of the world champion.

What a guy 🤩

"I don't think it's an image he wants to give himself, judge Adrien Naude. I would simply say that it is his way of being on a daily basis. He is someone who is very determined in everything he does, he does not hide the way he talks about himself and his goals. In this, he is in the lineage in France of Thierry Henry or Teddy Riner. I don't think he forces the line, he has a strong character and as long as it follows sportingly ... "And then we must say what is, when we make the front page of Time at only 20 freelances, difficult not to see him as the new French football superstar.

The BBC, a anything but harmless choice. They are not numerous, the media to have had the authorization of the player for an interview of this type. Proof that the Mbappé clan has understood that public speaking is a precious thing that must be handled with tact. “In his choice of interviews, we see that he is very careful who he gives his word to. All of this is well thought out and well calculated ”. Make yourself scarce, we'll love you, ”says a Turkish proverb (which we obviously pumped up on Google). Again, Mbappé understood the idea.

It's not the old monkey… In almost three professional seasons, Kylian Mbappé has perfectly assimilated the media codes. So when the BBC reporter asks him to talk about his love for Real Madrid, not stupid, the player plays it subtly. "Everyone is talking about this. When I was young I also talked about it. But now I'm a gamer and I know this is not the time. We are in January, it is the money time of the season. Imagine that I answer your question and say something. Everyone would talk about it and it's not good for PSG. "

And hop, a little message for PSG by the way. Nothing is ever completely free when Mbappé speaks. We still had proof when the journalist asked him what his dreams were for 2020. Answer: "Make the treble: the Champions League, the Euro, and the Olympic Games. The player once again reminds his club that he has certainly not put an end to his desire to compete in the Olympic Games this summer, all this when PSG is thinking about extending his contract in the capital . How much is it worth betting that the player's representatives will slip a clause to this effect in the event of an extension of his lease in Paris?

"Inspired by KM". Inaugurated Monday in a hotel at Porte de Bagnolet in Seine-Saint-Denis, the association will aim to support 98 children and adolescents in their life project and help them choose their professional path. A project that feels good the return of the crank. The Seine-Saint-Denis and the Bondy club have enabled Mbappé to grow as a footballer, it is now up to him to make him benefit from his image and his notoriety. "It's a bit like what Lebron James is doing in the United States," says Naude. The player also explained having raised with the Lakers star the possibility of "a project between [his] association and the school of Lebron James". “Behind this is a sincere philanthropic will, advises Adrien Naude. But associations are also a legal form that allows you to manage your money well and reduce your tax expenses. It is not trivial. "
