The captain of France, Kylian Mbappe (26 years old), held a press conference before the team's debut in the preliminaries for the 2026 World Cup will meet Ukraine on Saturday, September 5, from 21:45.

Real Madrid's superstar took advantage of the opportunity to express indignation for the huge number of matches he had to play with his club team last season. In the season 2024-2025, he played 59 games, scored 44 goals and offered 5 decisive passes.

Kylian Mbappe, dissatisfied: “I do not know if we are ready to play 60 matches a season”

“I am very happy to start a new season. I come with a big wish. This is an important year for my club, the national team and for me. We have everything we need to achieve big things, starting tomorrow. I try not to look too far towards the end of the season.

I can play in any game scheme. In the 3-5-2 system there is a lot of movement, but also risks in terms of balance. We received too many goals in our previous cantonment. It's been three years since I was the captain of France. I grew up and now I am more experienced. I try to be a balance factor, but there are new leaders. There must be room for each teammate.

I played too much last season? I don't know if we are ready to play 60 matches a season. I don't remember seeing a footballer playing 60 matches at the top of his career. In my opinion, this is impossible. Last season was a total confusion.

People said he was like a virus. We simply need a little more rest. This is a debate between two deaf. It is not about the number of matches, but rather about recovery. I saw how some teams resumed training, while we were still at the World Club Championship.
