Jerôme Rothen is currently one of the luckiest people in France. Whoever was a Monaco or PSG player managed to be the first yesterday to get the preview of the interview with Kylian Mbappé that will be broadcast in full this afternoon, starting at 6:00 p.m., on the program he has on RMC Sport. In fact, the former player has revealed the ins and outs of the interview with the French international.
“Everything went smoothly. He is a cordial person. I did not call him to do an interview, I called him to have a chat between two people passionate about soccer. I currently work in the media because I love to talk about football and exchange with the players. Here, we have one of the main players in the world of football and there was a lot of enthusiasm, there was a lot of sympathy between us. This has made for a very nice exchange to listen to, I think, “Rothen stressed.
In addition, he added: “We have talked about everything. He was very clear and sincere. He explains himself very well and knows how to recognize his mistakes, something that shows us his great personality. It is true that quite a few things have been said about him, his commitment and his sporting level. Especially that people stop speaking for him and that they have said false things, because he had the need to contextualize various things. He also had the need to gain trust between a player and a sports environment. “
For his part, Jean-Louis Tourre, who also did the RMC Sport interview with Mbappé, has confessed what it is like to talk with the 22-year-old player: “We see Mbappé a lot, but we don't know him. I think I had a need to tell the truth, especially after everything that happened in the summer. He has explained how he has lived things and has prevented us from speaking for him. Players do not trust a former player in the same way as a journalist. He has given the interview with a different touch. “
