Hupu News on October 9th: French national team captain Mbappe attended the pre-match press conference against Azerbaijan.

Talk about the outstanding performance at the beginning of the season

"The new season has begun. Finally, the players can rest and enjoy the vacation, and I am fully prepared. My season has started well. It is too early to say this now, this is just the beginning. I have made all preparations and hope to achieve good results.

We began to understand the coach's expectations of us. In the national team, we played in the first two games My mentality is very good, but I am trying to do better."

"If I say I can score, it doesn't mean anything. Every game is different.

We didn't take it lightly. Even if we don't retreat, qualifying is more important than scoring."

Will he play?

"I want to play, the coach also wants me to play, I don't think there will be any problem. I feel good, we are communicating with the coach. I will go to training today and then do the last check, but I am not particularly worried."

Talking about adapting to Real Madrid

"I have adapted well to Madrid, where I feel more relaxed.

I am not attacking Playing in France, the lifestyle in Madrid is different, not as busy as in Paris. I have tried to get my mind and actions back to normal."

Talking about Deschamps' bad experience in 1993

"The coach's experience was very bad. He kept telling us that as long as we can advance, that is the most important thing."

Mbappe explained the joy of Ethan Mbappe's goal.

"I feel like I really feel like a fan. It's better because we have no pressure, we play better and it feels super good. I shouldn't have gone but he asked me to and I went to the game.

He (Ethan) managed to help his team and get a good result and I was like a fan and I felt it. We shouldn't overdo it like we did against PSG. His club understands and respects him."

Breaking Giroud's record?

"I think I will break, but I don't know when exactly. Maybe tomorrow, who knows? Maybe it will be a long time. Everything will fall into place, and it will be a new starting point for me."

Talking about his injuries, he still has no problem reporting to the national team.

"We are talking about the team because of what happened in the last training camp, because the club is the one who pays, so such questions will always be there. But for the players, this is the most important and priceless.

Everything is going well in Madrid, that is very clear. My ankle is a little injured, but I said I want to play, and Real Madrid did not stop me from playing."
