Mbappe: Ronaldo’s thousand-goal goal is incredible, but we have to try because it’s only once in our career

November 14th After defeating Ukraine 4-0 in the World Cup preliminaries, French forward Mbappe said in an interview that Ronaldo's 1,000-goal goal is incredible, but he has to try to achieve the impossible goal because he only has one in his career.

About this game

- I'm very proud. We shouldn't take this for granted, although it may seem normal now, it hasn't always been the case in France's history and we have to keep our wits about us. On the field, we tried our best to complete the task. We picked up the tempo in the second half and created some chances and I thought the fans had a good night.

About your 400th career goal

– 400 goals doesn’t surprise people, if you want to shock people, you need another 400 goals. Ronaldo's 1,000 goals? That's incredible. But we have to try to achieve this impossible goal because you only have one career.

In order to participate in the World Cup, I have to be the best version of myself. My performance in the national team last year was not ideal, and this year I need to prove that the national team is very important to me. Everyone can talk about football, but only those who have actually been to the World Cup know how special it is and what an honor it is to represent your country.

On action on penalty kicks against Ukraine

- I take penalties a lot, so I know where the support points are. If it slides a little bit...it's a small movement (laughs).

About the commemorative activities

- In addition to speeches at the press conference, there are also practical actions. We want to show that we care about this, that we are all citizens. What happened is sad and we should show great compassion and solidarity with those who are suffering.

About the goals of the World Cup

- Of course, our goal is to win the championship, just like the other 48 teams, it is a dream to add a third star to the France jersey. We must use the experience of the 2022 World Cup finals to enter this competition with confidence. We will wait for the result of the draw and focus on the first game of the group stage.
