In a letter published on the platform "The Players' Tribune", the PSG striker addresses the young people of Bondy, his hometown.


Kylian Mbappé is only 21 years old. But he already has a ton of anecdotes to share with his audience. This Wednesday, the PSG striker took his pen on the site "The Players' Tribune" to write a letter addressed "to the children of Bondy, to the children of Ile-de-France, to the children of the suburbs". The French world champion, born in Bondy (Seine-Saint-Denis) on December 20, 1998, recounts his memories of childhood and adolescence.

The good morning rule. “There is, moreover, a rule at Bondy that everyone knows. (…) If you walk in the street and you meet a group of 15 people and you only know one of these people, you have two options: either you wave them with your hand and you continue your way, either you go to see them and you shake hands with the 15 people. If you go to see them and only shake hands with one person, the other 14 people will never forget you. They will know what kind of person you are. It's funny because I always kept this part of Bondy in me. Last year (…) I saw that José Mourinho was on the other side of the room. I had met José before but there he was with four or five friends whom I did not know. […] Well, I went to see him to greet him and shake his hand and then, of course, I did the same for each of his friends. […] It's like a reflex. It is a philosophy of life. "

The meeting with Zidane. “Just before my 14th birthday, I had an incredible surprise. (…) I will never forget the moment we arrived at the Real Madrid training center from the airport. Zidane greeted us in the parking lot near his car and it was a very nice car, of course. We said hello and he offered to drive me to the field for training. He was showing the passenger seat, like, "Go on , go up." But I liquefied and asked, "Should I take my shoes off?" » Ahahaha! I don't know why I said that. But it was Zizou's car! He found it very funny. He replied, "Of course not, come on, come on up." (…) He drove me to the training ground and I said to myself in my head, I'm in Zizou's car. I'm Kylian de Bondy. It is not true. I must still be sleeping on the plane. Sometimes, even when you really experience something, it feels like a dream. "

Anecdotes among others to find in the text written by Kylian Mbappé: "Letter to young Kylian".
