It is not an exaggeration to say that the future of French football belongs to Mbappe. The young African angler is like a pearl that has been polished from a harsh context full of prejudice, the only thing that burns is his passion for the ball.
Strong belief in football
60 years since soccer legend Pele created a record of scoring two goals in a World Cup match at the age of 18, Mbappe is the first teenage player to equal Pele’s record.
It wasn’t the two goals conceded by Argentina that made Mbappe. That is just a milestone marking Mbappe’s truly joining the ranks of French football stars. Having Mbappe today is a long journey, full of challenges and inspiration.
Mbappe “caused chaos” at the 2018 World Cup.
Five months after the French team reached the pinnacle of glory and won the 1998 World Cup, Mbappe was born. The boy was born in the Bondy region, which is considered the “abyss” of evil and violence in France. But Mbappe has never lost his way for a day.
Football chose Mbappe as a destiny that the boy could not refuse. Mbappe’s father, Wilfried Mbappe, is a Cameroonian football coach. His mother is a former Algerian-French handball player.
The first and familiar toy he had since he was a child were balls. Mbappe has no other passion or interest other than rolling the ball around.

Since childhood, Mbappe has proven to be a boy with a clear stance. Likes to play soccer, Mbappe spends all his free time practicing. Besides family, close friends and football, nothing can tempt Mbappe.
Mr. Wilfried Mbappe said: “My son is crazy passionate about football. He lives with a stronger love for the ball than anyone I know, including me. Anytime of the day, the thing he thinks about is nothing else but playing soccer.
It can attentively watch 4-5 matches at the same time without feeling tired. The boy not only watched, but he analyzed and observed as if he were participating.”
Studying and carving out his own position as a left wing striker, Mbappe gradually mastered how to attack the ball and counterattack, always knowing how to shine in any match he participated in.
At the age of 6, Mbappe was already a notable face.
At the age of six, Mbappe was directly trained by his father and brought to AS Bondy Club where he was a coach. The boy began to show sharper expressions. Thanks to that, Mbappe is considered one of the best young players in France, discovered by the French Football Federation and targeted as a new factor to replace the class of players who are gradually going through the downhill slope of their careers.
Mbappe’s father is currently Mbappe’s manager, the person the young player can turn to at any time if he needs professional advice or sometimes just problems in life.
Mbappe had big dreams from a young age. Coming to football, Mbappe set himself the goal of becoming a star. In 2013, Mbappe graduated from the famous French football training academy Clairefotaine. This is also where famous players such as Thierry Henry, Nicolas Anelka, Blaise Matuidi… studied.
Mbappe comes from France’s Clairefotaine training facility.
The bravery of a star striker
Mbappe said he used to consider Ronaldo a hero but no longer. He understands that he has to overcome his shyness because the shadows are too big to shine on his own.

The young player is known to everyone at Clairefotaine because the qualities of a star were present in him from a very early age. While at Clairefotaine, Mbappe had an impressive quote: “Dream of reaching the Moon, because if your dream doesn’t come true, you still have the opportunity to be close to the clouds.”
Thierry Henry once had a souvenir photo with Mbappe when he was five years old. Henry never expected that this would be a key player for French football at the present time.
Henry always believes that it is unfair for someone to compare Mbappe to a version of him because Mbappe’s life and talent are enough to help the young player shine. Henry believes that Mbappe has all the necessary conditions for him to achieve whatever he wants in football.
Mbappe took pictures with “senior” Henry when he was five years old and when he was an adult.
In 2013, Mbappe had to leave Clairefontaine to enter the professional environment. He rejected offers from Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and Munchen to enroll in Monaco’s youth team. Mbappe currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain, which borrowed him from Monaco.
‘Crush down’ all temptations
Fans are impressed with Mbappe’s impressive poses every time he scores, very arrogant and proud. Few people know that’s how Mbappe wanted to celebrate with his younger brother Ethan, who is seven years younger than him.

Every time the two of them play the FIFA game on Playstation, if Ethan wins against his brother, he will pose like that. Mbappe loves his younger brother very much and so does Ethan.
An interesting personal detail of this guy is that during many years of professional competition, Mbappe still insisted on living in the dormitory of the Monaco club’s training center even though he had enough money to buy himself separate apartments. Luxurious and luxurious mansion.
Mbappe’s father was the first teacher who brought him to football.
Mbappe’s father was the one who convinced him to stay in the familiar room of the dormitory. He wanted him to focus on his career, absolutely avoid temptation so as not to fall or regret later for not devoting himself wholeheartedly to his football career.
Occasionally, his parents and younger brother Ethan visit Mbappe and he is willing to spend all his time with his family.
His parents were the first and until now they are still the fulcrum that helps him keep his simple lifestyle.
Mbappe’s efforts and success at the present time are not only the pride of his family but also the hope of immigrants in the context of controversial populism in France. Mbappe deserves to be the face that writes a new page for French football.
