A team is not a group of friends.

The focus of the biggest TV series on this transfer market in European football, The Striker Kylian Mbappe, ace Paris Saint-GermainAnd He opened up about the game on numerous topics from his career in an interview with Esquire magazine.

The 22-year-old star has been appointed as a future booster for real Madrid, where he plays a “difficult match” to renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, which lasts only until June 2022.

It is clear that the character of Mbappe is not only within the four lines. The multi-champion revealed his relationship with Neymar and explained the differences that exist despite having a great partnership on the pitch.

“In Brazil it’s more festive, here in France people are more serious. It’s not nice here to show your passion. People will think we don’t take care of ourselves because we play poker. I think they’re starting to understand Neymar better. At first, it was hard for him. They put his face on the Eiffel Tower when he arrived and six months later they asked why he was playing poker. They just wanted to see him play football.”

The striker also opened the match about his relationship with his teammates. Recently, Paris Saint-Germain went to the market and assembled a new team of “galaxies”, especially with the arrival of stars such as Messi, Sergio Ramos and goalkeeper Donnarumma. For Mbappe, it is not necessary for the athletes to be friends to form the team.

“A football team is not a group of friends. You don’t have to dine with your teammates to win every night,” said Mbappe, who also admitted that he’s a star even at 22 and that he handles fame well. “If your face is all over the city, all over the world, that’s fine. Being a star is a prestige, but that doesn’t make me any better than the others.”

The French ace also talked about the comparisons he has received in recent years. Despite being described as one of the world’s top futures contracts, Mbappe admitted there was “no way” he could compare to names like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

“If you tell yourself that you will be better than Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, it will depend on your ego or determination. It is a lack of conscience. These athletes are incomparable. They broke all the stats. They had 10, 15 extraordinary years.” You always compare yourself with the best, And I think other athletes are watching me too, and that pushes you forward, that’s how Messi and Ronaldo have been so good to each other.”
