[Must board] Mbappe: Accepting people's prejudice, opinions, and comments against me, I can't change the world

In a more private environment, how many people will talk to you, but don't expect any efforts or rewards you have?

This question is difficult to answer because sometimes, even those who expect you will tell the truth to you. You must stay focused and not be stubborn.

Not everything should be abandoned, nothing should be black or white. You have to protect yourself, but also keep your focus. Sometimes I will listen to some advice from people who may have hurt me, but their advice is correct, so I will keep those suggestions while breaking the relationship.

I always follow other people's advice, even if I rethink what is good and what is bad afterwards. The judge is me. I am a person on the field, living my own life, accepting failure, glory... and bearing the consequences of what I do.

For example, when you see the encounter between Paul Pogba, you should think: Will money ruin everything?

Yes, yes. The more money, the more problems. Some people don’t realize that your life is changing; they just want to leave behind what you were like when you were a child, the image you were when you were with them…but you are no longer the same you used to be.

You have responsibilities, commitments, work, and accounts to settle. If someone accompanied you through this path, it would be a beautiful story. Growing up under the same family and intimate relationships and life reaches its peak, which is great.

But not everyone's life goes well, you must know how to express it. This does not mean that the bond between you has broken down, but that there is something wrong with this relationship. It is easier said than done, and this is a problem faced by many athletes and celebrities.

Will we talk about it? Yes. It appears in the news, these are things we know, they are telling us. This is the environment in which humans live, and we cannot change it.

I have a fatalistic attitude towards the football world, but not to life. Life is wonderful, but football is itself. I like to say that people who go to the stadium are lucky that they "just" to come to the show without knowing what's going on behind the scenes. To be honest, if I hadn't had this passion, I would have long been disgusted with the football world.

Cristiano Ronaldo once said that if he had to close his eyes and think, he could only trust four people.

I understand. I just said we shouldn't fall into paranoia...but you still can't figure it out. "Why did he tell me this? What did he want from me? What did he expect from me?" There are many kinds of "why".

The line between caution and paranoia is blurry, which leads to a feeling of crazy if you want to think about it. How many times I hear people talking about a player say, "He's crazy!"

No, he's paranoid because he's only crazy people around him. Maybe he met a great guy there, but he just met 20 lunatics, so he was skeptical, which was normal.

What kind of humanity and values ​​do you look for in others?

Family, you accept it as it is. We are not perfect, right? Everyone has advantages and disadvantages. Then, there is always simplicity, sharing and unity among friends.

These values ​​have made me today, and I think this is how I communicate with the world. We share all kinds of things, some crazy things, some anecdotes, some travel experiences. Sometimes, some friendships last for a lifetime, while others are short-lived.

They used to be beautiful, but they had to end up. Some friendships end up badly, and that's life.

I am no different from ordinary people. Unfortunately, even my friendship is under scrutiny…If you go out with someone, if we never see him again, we will say to ourselves, “Oh, okay, why is he not here?”

Don’t you think…you are surrounded, surrounded?

No, no. You will never be a king. I was lucky to make a lot of money, but I was never a king. I feel like I am given freedom and can agree to anything. When it’s time to say “no”, you have to say “no”… My family says “no” more times than they say “yes”. (He laughed.)

They always surprised me by saying "yes". After all, everyone has their own story. It has nothing to do with whether you are a football player, whether you are famous or not.

We are all responsible for our actions and those we employ. Anyway, bad experiences can help you move forward. It might be tough and needs to be overcome, but when you look back from a distance, once it passes, you tell yourself that it used to be useful.

For example, what are you thinking?

I am very lucky that my life is fast. I've experienced a lot. Many people have witnessed every bit of my career, and so are people outside the football circle. I think I have learned a lot from it.

If you don’t learn from your lessons, you will eventually repeat the same mistakes. I've experienced it, it shapes me now. Ultimately, just like you. We’re not going through the same thing, but we all shape ourselves, and we’re what we are today because of these reasons.

In addition to the education I received and the burden I have carried since I was born. But I think, that's all. Those encounters, those places we have been, those things from heaven... In short, this is my life story.
