KYLIAN MBAPPÉ FOR THE WALL JOURNAL

“I’ve always wanted people to remember my name,” Kylian Mbappé says of his former self. I set that objective for myself. Making a lasting impression on soccer history has always been my aim. Mbappé is a real-life illustration of how certain dreams can come true. His remarkable speed, dribbling, and finishing skills have earned him a reputation as one of the world’s top soccer players.

“There are people who want to have fun and just enjoy things—and I respect that view,” Kylian Mbappé said about his natural competitiveness. Mbappé, on the other hand, freely admits, “I chose this life wanting to win and wanting to be competitive.”Every day, you don’t just sit on your couch and say, “I want to win.” You put more effort into it each day and grow more driven to be successful in all that you do.
