Real Madrid and France national team striker Kilian Mbappe has responded to a question about attacks on some national players based on their origin.
Idman.Biz reports that he called the issue a "cultural phenomenon."
"Even if I don't pay attention to this topic, I think it's just a cultural phenomenon. We are French! The French love to complain. The French love to be unhappy. We are just French.
So the French judge the French - that's what happens. I think the French are happy when they are unhappy. Because that's true - we criticize everything. And I also say "we" because I am like that too!
But I think new generations are trying to change this mindset. As famous people, the people who represent France the most in the world, our goal is to try to present our country in the best possible way. Because we are talking about a slightly more negative, darker aspect, but I think we have a fantastic country that inspires the world, conveys beautiful values, and inspires with its culture. But it is true that the French try to destroy all their players!" - said Mbappe.
