Mbappe: Representing the national team in the World Cup is a privilege, I want to be the best Mbappe

On November 14th, in the fifth round of Group D of the European preliminaries, France defeated Ukraine 4-0 at home and successfully qualified for the World Cup. After the game, Mbappe, who scored twice in this game, accepted an interview with TF1. Mbappe said that the seemingly natural promotion of the French team must not be regarded as an ordinary thing.

■About the team's promotion to the World Cup

Mbappe said: "We are very proud. As the coach said in the locker room, promotion can never be downplayed, even if it looks more and more normal. I think in the history of the French team, this is not always the case. We try to keep a low profile because the most important thing today is not promotion, but the anniversary. In the first half we played harder. It was a bit harder because after we knew the result of the Iceland game, Ukraine wanted to go ahead by drawing us. The penalty we got really helped us, and then the game opened up and we started scoring goals and creating chances. "

■About his performance

Mbappe said: "To play in the World Cup, I I have to be the best version of myself. It was more difficult for me in the national team last year. It is very important to be able to play at my level again, which proves that the whole qualifying process is very smooth for me, but the most important thing is that the club side is also good, although the last few games are more difficult, but there is no need to be nervous. OK, Mbappe. Everyone understands football and analysis. Playing in the World Cup, you know how special it is. It is a privilege to represent France in front of the world and strive to leave a mark in the history of our country."

■ The French forward also emphasized the importance of this anniversary and talked about the goal of the next World Cup: winning the championship.

Mbappe said: "What we said at the press conference represents the entire French team, and we want to express our concern for this day. We are French, and these tragedies that happened in our country are catastrophic. We can never make up for those losses, but we can express sympathy to the victims. The World Cup? Of course it is to win, just like 48 teams. We want to get the third star, we have been very close. We have to use these experiences. In that final against Argentina, I We can never do it again. Even if we win in 2026, we will not win back in 2022. We must use that failure as motivation first, and then enter the knockout rounds. You just go home. "
