"There is no Mbappe project": Mbappe's father spoke about his support for his son

We know a lot about Fayza Lamari, the mother of Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe. She manages all his affairs and represents the French footballer as his agent. Kilian's father has often remained in the shadows.

According to Lent.az, Wilfrid Mbappe, in an interview with the French Canal+ channel, explained that he does not agree with the term "Mbappe project". Kilian's father emphasized that his son wants to be the best at what he does, and therefore everything turns out well. But the parents simply created a positive atmosphere in the family.

"The Mbappé project – what does 'Mbappe project' mean? This is a father who supports his son in his dreams, activities, profession, but we all do it. So we all have an Mbappé project.

Because the Mbappé project is exactly that, nothing else. I didn't choose it for him. He's right, I didn't wake him up at six in the morning to go to training, I didn't give him extra lessons, I didn't do any of that. Sometimes in the fields I meet parents who say to me, 'Yes, I do the same as you.' They whistle and run around the fields in jeans, sit down and stand up, kick the ball. But I didn't do any of this, what kind of myth is this?

I gave support as a father. At first everything was fun, a little distracting, but when things get serious you add other things. After all, your son will make this his profession, so you sit down with him and ask questions. If he tells you, 'I'm going to be the best,' you have to do certain things to get there.

Not everyone is created to be the best, not everyone can endure everything that comes their way. When I see him today, I stand up and respect him, because he has experienced so much that I don't even know if I could have done it.

Every day, 24 hours a day, every hour, every second, everyone talks about him. Who could have been ready for this? Nobody. I hear people say, 'He's programmed.' Why? I can't understand. How could this have happened? No, all this happened only because his character is strong. Of course, his mother and I passed on certain things to him, also with the education and love that we passed on. But this is also his strength. We have always created a calm atmosphere around him. Even when faced with failures, we were there for him.

"For me, this is a game, a sport, nothing more. Nowadays, many people turn football into something exclusive. It has already become the most important thing in the world. Everyone expresses their opinion, it's on all the front pages. But for me it's just a sport and a game."
