Kylian Mbappé does not leave many people indifferent. Even less the former sports journalist and football lover Michel Drucker. The emblematic host of the French audiovisual landscape, voice of Europe 1 between 1983 and 2013 and guest of Jacques Vendroux’s “Studio des Légendes” this Saturday, even had the opportunity to meet the Parisian striker’s close family. “I had lunch with Wilfrid, his dad, eight days ago,” he confides.
Speaking with the star’s father allowed Michel Drucker to understand “why Kylian has his head on his shoulders”. According to him, the tricolor nugget benefits from excellent family support. “He has strong parents,” he summarizes before developing his thoughts on the player himself.
“The great champions are calm”
“I’m amazed. Obviously, on a technical level, he’s probably Pelé’s successor. He’s considered the best player in the world,” explains Michel Drucker on Europe 1, who insists on the player’s “calm and serenity.” which are for him the key to his success. “He speaks three languages, he speaks very little to the press, but when he speaks, he never says stupid things. He is very calm, he knows what he wants and he has perspective,” said the former journalist. . Who continues: “He has achieved everything, he could have lost his temper. He has the fortune, he has global fame, he is only 25 years old and still has two World Cups ahead of him.”
A calm that Michel Drucker, as a great tennis enthusiast, compares to that of Roger Federer. “The great champions are calm,” he sums up, adding that the Parisian striker “doesn’t have the melon”.
However, it remains to be seen which club the person concerned will play for next season. “If he doesn’t stay, he will perhaps go to Real Madrid one day, it’s quite probable,” predicts Michel Drucker. Kylian Mbappé, free to sign for the club of his choice since January 1, has already repeatedly rejected the advances of the Spanish club which remains, despite everything, on the lookout. According to The Team, Liverpool, which maintains contact with the player’s entourage, is also attentive to his situation. Mbappé could also choose to extend the adventure with Paris Saint-Germain.
