🗣️ Kylian Mbappé: “If I had to choose between my dad’s country Cameroon or my mum’s country Algeria, I’d say I grew up more with Cameroonian culture. I was closer to my Cameroon family.” 🇨🇲🇩🇿
“A country isn’t like a club. I’m French, I grew up in France. I have Algerian and Cameroonian roots, but my culture is French, so for me it wouldn’t make sense to be opportunistic. I was good, and France chose me.”
“Since then, I’ve become much closer to my Algerian side. I’d love to visit because I’ve never actually been there.”
“I’ll send Ethan to play for Algeria and I’ll play for Cameroon.”
“I also think players shouldn’t earn money for representing their national team. That money could be used in better ways, especially to give something back to the fans.” 💰
Back in 2018, Mbappé donated all of his World Cup earnings, including around $29K per game and a $350K winner’s bonus, to a charity that supports hospitalised and disabled children through sport.
He’ll be hoping to lift the trophy again this summer & according to @polymarket France are favoruites! 🏆
