Non-standard

Look at the footage from his press conference on Sunday.

He had wanted since Thursday to appear before the media.

Because there was the outline of an outbreak of fire among the Blues;

because he felt targeted and "affected" by the words of Olivier Giroud complaining of not being well enough served during France - Bulgaria.

We know the exercise tricky enough that so many others avoid it.

48 hours from the entry into contention of the Blues at the Euro, a capital shock against Germany, one could have imagined that he had a lot to lose.

But it is to believe that Kylian Mbappé sublimates in the difficulty, feeds on it.

Yes, we must review how the star of PSG, the one that many already designate as an icon - of French sport, of all of France, even - plays everything, plays with his interlocutors, dribbles, bounces, without ever losing the thread. of his thought, passing his messages. The most direct as well as the most subliminal. As comfortable there as on a field or at Bondy, surrounded by kids on the lawn where he pushed his first balls, or with the big boys of this world. Like little. There is some Bolt in him, minus the extravagance. From Ali, less humor. We obviously exaggerate a little, necessarily dazzled, but he is of that caliber. At least he puts himself in these steps ...

It should be remembered, even if he hates it, that Kylian Mbappé is only… 22 years old.

The young man, escorted by so many expectations, is just emerging from adolescence.

His presence, his confidence, his outings, his sulking can suggest that he has a big head.

It is first of all the expression of an ambition to the excess of his talent.

Out of the ordinary.

Coming to the press (it's not his first time) could have been more pressure.

She didn't weigh.

Against Germany, the world champion weighed, scored a marvelous goal… refused, offered one… also refused.

But he knows he still has so much to learn.

Another imprint of the giants.
