With a look into the glistering CV and trophy cabinet of Kylian Mbappé, one would only find a bit of room to maneuver.
With the World Cup trophy Checked, the World Cup Golden Ball Checked, and Multiple domestic leagues Checked. Just to name a few glowing accolades on his achievement list.
Yet the global soccer Icon one of the greatest soccer players of our time admits he has a burning desire and so much more to fight for.
At club-level football, a maiden Champions League title remains his glaring haunting omission. On the individual achievement level, football’s ultimate crown jewel, the Ballon d’Or has eluded him for many years.
As the French Legend prepares himself for his fourth major tournament with the French football team, the answer remains definitive.
In an interview with Amanda Davies of CNN Sports Kylian Mbappe disclosed,“I want to win the Euros. I have to be honest,” this cme after being crowned as the Best Men’s Player at the inaugural Globe Soccer Awards Europe Edition held in Italy, Sardinia.
He further added “I won the World Cup. I won the Nations League. That’s the only one that missed me with the national team after I did everything with the national team.
“I really want to win this. My first competition as captain, so it’s really important for me and it’s always important for the country and we want them to be proud of us.
“[It’s] another opportunity to write the history of my country.”
The Stakes are high for the Les Bleus to be crowned as this summer’s European Champions as they are considered as one of the favorites to lift the trophy on a German soil.
The favorites named tag on them is based not only on their recent success and outings on the global stage but also it ties down tothe squad depth they can boast of.
“We have three squads, three teams. We can put in any player and the team will still look strong,” Patrice Evra France’s Euro 2016 runner-up told CNN Sport’s Davies Amanda.
“The biggest enemy for France is France. That’s the truth because, sometimes, we get carried away. We can be too arrogant and don’t respect the opponent.”
Considering the paper and world rankings alone, France’s team in this year’s edition of the tournament has an immeasurable level of talent and squad depth throughout.
As it is, it remains Mbappé’s sole focus this summer to chase European glory together with his team.
