Special envoy to Marseille
His entry onto the pitch at the Vélodrome stadium was expected. Scrutinized. With a question in mind. Was Kylian Mbappé going to be whistled by the Marseille public on Tuesday evening? Affirmative. From the warm-up and after only a few steps with his partners, the captain of the Blues was whistled as soon as his face appeared on the giant screen. However, the Olympian enclosure, sparsely populated at around 8:10 p.m., showed its position against the best player of the Blues... star of PSG who will still be there on Sunday for the Ligue 1 Classic.
Monday evening, at a press conference, the native of Bondy was questioned about the reception at the Vélodrome. Without having high hopes. “I don’t pretend to ask for that (a warm welcome from the Vélodrome, Editor’s note), he whispered with a smile. I will do my best to get a reaction. To be honest, I would understand if I was whistled at. There is a Clasico on Sunday, I am a PSG player. If I get whistled, that's life. I wouldn't take it personally. If I don't get whistled, I'll be pleasantly surprised."
