‘I can’t play for people who think I’m a monkey’: Mbappe considered leaving France squad

French offensive leader Kylian Mbappe admitted he was considering the possibility of ending his national team career. The footballer was disappointed by the display of racism in his speech.

“I said, ‘I can’t play for people who think I’m a monkey. I’m not going to play.’ But after thinking about those people playing around me and cheering me on, I realized that wasn’t a good message to let go. I think I am an example for everyone.

It’s the new France. … That’s why I didn’t quit the national team. Because it’s a message to the younger generation: “We are stronger than that”, Sports Illustrated quotes Mbappe.

At the next World Cup in Qatar, France will play in Group D, where they will play with the teams of Australia, Denmark and Tunisia. The tournament is scheduled for November 20 to December 18, 2022 in Qatar.
