in the presence of Kylian Mbappe The conference, spread over three days, breathes fresh air among the France team’s followers. The new captain of the selection, the star of French football, walks in front of the media in a very positive environment and does not use the language of wood. In the Aviva Stadium press room on Sunday afternoon, Mbappé made his audience smile after an innocuous question about the qualities of young Irish striker Evan Ferguson, who scored on his international debut last Wednesday, and the qualities expected against the Blues this Monday (8:45pm).

Kylian Mbappe, who is very comfortable in the use of English and Spanish languages, did not understand our Irish colleague’s question with an accent. Unstressed, he asked the translator behind the desk. “I don’t understand his accentHe breathed into the microphone. Once the understanding was registered, he responded to the local journalist with ease and ease in Shakespeare’s language. The sequence never ends. And then, again, he himself…translated into French. Before turning to the translator without hiding his smile: “You don’t have to translate, I did the work“. A fresh and honest moment for Mbappé in an exercise that sometimes paralyzes some international players. Not him.

Minutes later, Didier Deschamps introduced himself to the media and kindly accommodated his new captain following a question from an Irish colleague. “I amI won’t answer in English because I asked Kylian before, he’s more fluent than me, I’ll answer in French“, “DD” he laughed. Before that, he had to face the translator who started his answer in French and took it back gracefully. “Translate the answer into English, it’s better, the answer I did in French.” causing general laughter.
