PSG, Mbappe: 'I haven't changed, no rivalry with Neymar'
- Apollo Heyes
"People think Kylian has changed, but he hasn't. I play to be decisive and important for the team. When you're seventeen or eighteen you dare a little less because you haven't shown anything yet, you have to respect a certain hierarchy and pass the ball to the strongest. Now the ball is given to me and I take more advantage of it.”
The 21-year-old Frenchman, who is contracted to PSG until 2022, then denied that he has a rivalry with Brazilian star Neymar.
“When I arrived in Paris there were no discussions. Neymar was the star of the squad, I had come to help. Then I won the World Cup and rumours came out about our alleged rivalry. I was shocked to hear these stories.”
Mbappe is having a strong season, scoring 18 goals and providing nine assists in 19 appearances across all competitions for the Parisian side, including five goals and four assists in five Champions League appearances.
