She was in Rennes to visit the factory producing soft toys bearing the image of the mascot of the Paris Games.
Questioned by RMC Sports, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra took the opportunity to say a few words about Kylian Mbappé, this Thursday late in the morning.
She said she was saddened by his departure at the end of the season, which he himself announced to his partners last week.
“It’s true that, clearly, a page is being turned,” said the short-lived Minister of National Education.
First of all, I remember everything wonderful he brought to this championship.
In Ligue 1, he was one of the most notable heroes of recent years.
I think we should wish him good luck and good luck in his career.
» Despite the sporting damage linked to his departure from France, she believes “that wherever he is in the world, he makes France shine”.
“A great man”
Amélie Oudéa-Castéra also mentioned the leading role of Kylian Mbappé in Blue: “I do not forget, Minister of Sports, that he remains the captain of the France team, with magnificent deadlines this year 2024. I am obviously thinking of the Euro, but also of the prospect of the Olympics.
I think that with him, we are lucky to have a great guy.
We must send him our thoughts and all our goodwill.
