Mbappe says having Zidane as France coach 'like a film'
Kylian Mbappe said on Monday playing under new France coach Zinedine Zidane, 15 years after the French football icons first met, is like "something from a film".We have two years to prepare for the European Championship and that's what we're focused on now," Mbappe said.
Kylian Mbappe, the French football sensation, likened the prospect of playing under new national team coach Zinedine Zidane to a cinematic experience. The two football icons met 15 years ago when Zidane first signed Mbappe to join Real Madrid's youth academy. Speaking to Spanish paper AS, Mbappe expressed his excitement about Zidane as his coach, stating, "It's like a film, but it's amazing.
It's real." Deschamps' final World Cup as France coach ended in a devastating semi-final loss to Spain in July. As France prepares for Euro 2028, Mbappe emphasized that the team is focused on the upcoming Nations League matches, which include games against Belgium and Italy. The young star, who has scored eight goals in eight matches for Real Madrid this season, admitted that the change in coaching staff marks a new era for France, but he remains optimistic about the team's prospects under Zidane.
