Michel Montana, speaker of the Parc des Princes, spoke of the new love of supporters for Kylian Mbappé, 24, in The Parisian. For Montana, “it makes everyone agree” and there is also the pride that he is French. Finally, Montana was moved by the speed of Mbappé to join Edinson Cavani, at the top of the top scorers in Paris.
Montana « We forgot everything that might have been said.
“We forgot everything that might have been said. The Park needs to be convinced and now it is at all levels with Kylian. We feel that there is a milestone that has passed and that it has taken on importance. He makes everyone agree. I sometimes watch the fans during matches, the shirts worn and I have never seen so many Mbappé shirts at the Park! It’s really Franco-French to realize the importance it has taken on throughout the world. It’s a pride that shines.
Montana « Never, I would have imagined that he would catch up with Cavani at this speed.
Mbappé breaking Cavani’s record at the Park?
It’s something I’m thinking regarding very seriously. I never would have imagined that he would catch up with Cavani at this speed. He is in another dimension. It’s incredible. I’m ready to continue having fun yelling at each of his goals! »
Mbappé is a divisive player. But he is so strong that he manages to gather around him. It is difficult to criticize his performance on the pitch, it is also a constant with him. Finally, he might do better on defensive aspects, but as he scores constantly, it goes better. For the rest, his extension, his commitment to Paris, his constant make him a player who has an audience won over to his cause.
In addition, he is clearly approaching Cavani’s record, he only misses four goals, it will push hard in the next games. He can do better, that’s what’s crazy and frustrating with him. He might stop controlling everything and let go to be even more adored, but he stays focused, in what he knows how to do. The next step ? Making PSG win in the Champions League is the logical next step.
