At Clairefontaine
The instructions went well. Present at a press conference this Tuesday in the Clairefontaine auditorium, Eduardo Camavinga and Jules Koundé were not very talkative on the subject of the day: Kylian Mbappé. First to engage in the question-and-answer game, the Madrid native knew he was expected and was content to keep it short. Barely seated in front of the media before today’s training, “Cama” was immediately asked about the prospect of the arrival of the captain of the Blues at Real Madrid this summer. He welcomed this introduction with a smile. While walking on eggshells.
“As you can see, he has spoken (on social networks), I have nothing to say (more), but if he is brought to come (to Madrid), I would be very happy”, breathes he says in the preamble before being questioned again, more or less frontally, on the same theme. If he found Mbappé concerned since the announcement of non-extension of contract at PSG which was relayed all over Europe? “He is always the same”. If he teased his captain about a possible transfer to Madrid in the next few days? “I was the first to do it, but how I did it is between him and me,” he smiled, pleased with his move. Brief respite before a new question about the image of his partner in Spain. “You all know he’s a great player, everyone would like to have Kylian on their team,” he tends to recall without telling anyone.
Relaunched in a roundabout way on the suitable profile of the striker expected in Madrid this summer since the departure of Karim Benzema – follow our gaze – the former Rennais did not fall into the (big) panel. “I’m not part of the Real staff, I trust them. I don’t play Fifa. “End of the discussion and review brilliantly validated to say as little as possible, under the watchful eye of the press chief of the Blues. Even more minimal service for Jules Koundé, who did not want to joke about it. “It’s not something that concerns me,” he planted, face closed. On a small raise with a Kylian Mbappé possibly concerned since Monday evening by the media din, the Barcelonan made it short and concise. ” No not at all. »
