«When he is with us, everything revolves around him. Mbappe's position in the modern world is exceptional. I often tell him: ‘I want to reach your level of football, but I don’t want your life.’ Because, frankly speaking, it’s hard when your name is everywhere.

Right now he is not here, and the players who are going to play in his position must do their job, be decisive, and help us win matches. It is the coach who makes the decisions. It is up to him to decide whom to call up and whom not to,» said Konate for Canal+.
