My dad got a call from someone at Real Madrid inviting me to come to Spain for a training session over the holidays. It was a shock, because they said to my father: “Zidane would like to see your son.” At the time, Zizou was the sports director. Of course, I was on cloud nine. I absolutely wanted to go. But it wasn't that simple, actually, because scouts were starting to come to our games, and I was getting media attention. When you're 13, you don't know how to do it. There was a lot of pressure and my family wanted to protect me (…) And believe it or not, we didn't tell anyone where we were going. I didn't even tell my closest friends about it, because I was too nervous. If things didn't go well, I didn't want to come back to my neighborhood and disappoint them, ”said the PSG striker, who was particularly impressed by his face to face presence with < strong> Zinedine Zidane. Kylian Mbappé continues on this subject: “I will never forget the moment when we arrived at the training center from the airport. Zidane picked us up from the parking lot next to his car, and it was a very nice car, of course. We said hello to each other, then he offered to take me to the field to practice. He was pointing to the front seat, like, “Come on, get in.” But I just froze and asked him, 'Should I take my shoes off'. Hahaha! I don't know why I said that. But it was Zizou's car! He drove me to the training ground, and I was just like, I'm in Zizou's car. I am Kylian de Bondy. It is not real. I still have to sleep on the plane. Sometimes, even when you are really experiencing something, it feels like a dream ”. Finally, Mbappé had opted for the training center of AS Monaco then a transfer to PSG in 2017, but the year 2021 should finally be the right one for Real Madrid …
