Galtier does not believe that Mbappé took the melon

Before the 32nd final of the Coupe de France between Berrichonne de Châteauroux and Paris Saint-Germain, Friday evening, Christophe Galtier spoke again at a press conference on Kylian Mbappé.

Left to rest this Friday for the 32nd final of the Coupe de France in Châteauroux, Kylian Mbappé was nevertheless at the center of the debates Thursday, during the press conference of Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier. Facing the media, the Parisian technician was invited to discuss the status of the 24-year-old French striker. The Marseillais does not think the growing popularity of the 2018 world champion has made him take the big head.

“He is able to take it”

“I obviously saw what happened in New York at a basketball game, and that’s very rare. We must also, rightly, appreciate having Kylian in our club and in France. Like Leo (Messi), he made a very big World Cup. He was honored personally. On the fact that Kylian looks at what is happening around him, has he changed? No. He quickly returned to competition. He wanted to play again quickly. There he is recovering. I haven’t talked about that, but I still think, since he’s a very intelligent boy who prints quickly, obviously he must realize that the way people look at him has changed, that he’s known worldwide . It’s very rare for a footballer to be given a standing ovation in a room, on a basketball court. I hope that doesn’t add pressure. He’s like that, but he’s one of those players who has a lot of personality, a lot of character, and he’s able to take it on. It is also the result of his performance. We, the Kylian we have on a daily basis is the same as the one we had at the start of the season.
