Mbappe attended the pre-match press conference of the UEFA third place match and talked about his own status and Paris won the Champions League.

Talking about the national team

"We have a long-term goal, that is, the World Cup. We have established confidence on the offensive end, but the same needs to be done on the defensive end. We have had many players absent before, and now the team will usher in their return. We must continue to work hard. The offensive end has not completed the running-in, but there have been progress. We can arrange four attackers. The key is how to schedule. The important thing is to find a balance and establish a clear tactical system in the game. Now everyone thinks that we are a once brilliant team, but in fact we are one. A brand new team. Most players have no more than 30 national teams, we have to rebuild our reputation, which is our challenge, we have a lot of talented players. "

Talking about our position

"Playing No. 9 in the club is different from playing in the national team, I think I have made progress in some aspects, and I have begun to adapt to this position. On the football field, everything is unpredictable, and today I am standing at the center." "

Talking about the Champions League final

"I was in Morocco and I was in Mara The Fairmont Hotel in Kashgar watched the game. Do you want to know all the details? My cousins ​​and friends are here, the TV screen is very big... Seriously, I am very happy that they deserve this victory. They have gone through many difficulties, and I have experienced these, besides winning the championship, I have gone through almost all stages of the Champions League. They are the best team in Europe, I don’t remember seeing a 5-0 score in the Champions League final, which is a well-deserved victory. They are now the team that everyone wants to beat. "

Talking about leaving Paris

"Did I leave too early? No, my story is over, it has to end, without any regrets, I have reached the end of the story. I gave everything, but fate decided to let this happen in my absence. "

Talking about my own status

" Back to the best? It's hard to say, I'm not a math expert, I don't know. I've felt good since January and performed well, and although it's not perfect, I'm constantly improving, which makes me happy and most importantly win the championship. We still have a chance to compete for more titles, so the Club World Cup is very important."
