"I really want to win this"

"I really want to win this. My first competition as captain, so it's really important for me, and it's always important for the country and we want them to be proud of us."

Trial with Chelsea

Football fans shouldn't be shocked at Mbappe's perfect English. The Sun reports Mbappe went on a trial with Chelsea in the Premier League when he was ten.

Away from the pitch

It's been imperative for Kylian Mbappe to learn English for his business deals in America, especially how his media company has ties to the NBA.

Partnership with the NBA

According to the Versus website, in June 2022, Mbappe's media company, Zebra Valley, signed a multiyear partnership with the NBA to produce a range of content that will bring football and basketball together.

American accent

His love for basketball and partnership with the NBA will explain why fans were confused about Mbappe's American accent during the interview.

Fan comments

According to Sports Bible, one fan wrote: "What the hell is this accent?" another said: "What the heck, he shouldn't sound like this." The final person added: "Homie Americanised his French accent."

The Premier League one day?
