‘Are you listening to Real? Give them permission to compete’ French president pressures
‘Real transfer confirmed’ Mbappe to fulfill Olympic dream
Even French President Emmanuel Macron has come out in favor of Kylian Mbappe’s participation in the Olympics.
France’s ‘RMC’ reported on the 16th (ET), “President Macron is pressuring Real Madrid to allow the French player to participate in the upcoming Paris Olympics. He said, ‘I hope the club will allow the loan. I think we have to make a concession in order to play a great game,'” Macron said.
This July, the world’s biggest sporting event will take place in Paris, France. The Paris 2024 Olympic Games will begin with the opening ceremony on July 26, when French President Emmanuel Macron will declare the Games open, followed by 329 events across 32 sports.
The sport that gets the most attention is soccer. The tournament will begin on July 24 with the first round of group stage matches and end on August 10 with the final. The group stage is already set. Group A includes France, the United States, the winner of the Asia-Africa playoffs, and New Zealand; Group B includes Argentina, Morocco, third-ranked Asia, and Ukraine; Group C includes second-ranked Asia, Spain, Egypt, and the Dominican Republic; and Group D includes first-ranked Asia, Paraguay, Mali, and Israel.
The biggest question mark for soccer in Paris is whether Mbappe will play. Mbappe is a French superstar. In the summer of 2017, after playing for AS Monaco, Mbappe finalized his move to PSG. Since joining PSG, Mbappe has developed into one of the best attackers in the world. In seven seasons with PSG, he has scored 250 goals and 94 assists in 302 games.
This season, Mbappe has been playing alongside Lee Kang-In, who also joined PSG, and has scored 39 goals and provided nine assists in 40 games. Mbappe was the fastest player in Europe’s top five leagues to reach 30 goals this season. Mbappe is an integral part of PSG’s offense.
Mbappe will wear a Real shirt next season. Currently, Mbappe has just two months left on his PSG contract. When Mbappe signed his new contract in the summer of 2022, it was a 2+1 year deal, but the player has stated that he will not be exercising his option to extend the contract by one year, making the move a virtual certainty. The club has already arranged his salary and bonuses and will assign him the number nine shirt.
Mbappe is eager to play for his country at the Paris Olympics after his move to Real. Mbappe has won almost every tournament with the French national team. He won the trophy at the 2018 World Cup in Russia and finished runner-up at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
In the 2020-21 season, they also won the UEFA Nations League. They also performed well at age-group level. In 2016, he won the UEFA U-19 Championship. He 바카라사이트 also won the World Cup Best Young Player, World Cup Dream Team, World Cup Silver Ball, and World Cup Golden Boot.
However, he has never won a trophy at the Euros and has never competed in the Olympics, so Mbappe is eager to win the tournament and qualify for the Olympics. Lionel Messi and Neymar won gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, respectively.
However, if his club objects, Mbappe will not be able to participate. The Olympics are not organized by FIFA, so players cannot compete if their clubs object, which is why Macron is taking matters into his own hands and pressuring Real.
Mbappe said in an interview, “I’ve always wanted to play in the Olympics and that hasn’t changed. It’s a dream to play in the Olympics, but if I’m not allowed, I’ll do what I’m told. The decision is still up to one person and they haven’t given me any decision yet,” he said.
