00:06Do you sometimes feel like people forget the number of goals you score in order to...
00:10Focus on details like your defensive runs, the kilometers you've covered?
00:14I don't think it's normal, but that's the life of someone who has been close to excellence.
00:21during
00:21years. I think I'm more into novelty. Everyone has known for years
00:27For years, what I know how to do is, it's human to always look at what someone isn't doing.
00:31When someone has been doing it for ten years, you stop paying attention to what they're doing. You know that
00:34'He knows how to do it.'
00:35So we always try to look at what he's not doing. So from that point on,
00:39It's not something I take personally.
00:42Do you feel that there might be a little less kindness towards you? Because
00:45that after
00:45Even so, you still score between 50 and 60 goals per season. And sometimes, the critics are "yes,
00:51They score goals, but the team as a whole can suffer. So, for you,
00:56Is this kind of thing considered inaudible discourse?
00:59This argument makes less sense because if I don't score, people will ask me why.
01:03I don't score. Later, I learned that when you're a footballer, every match you play,
01:10There are millions of coaches, and not all coaches are happy at home. So everyone
01:14From his point of view. But I think the goal of football is to score goals, to
01:18mark
01:19One more goal than the opponent. A player who scores goals will never be a problem.
01:22in a team. Because I've never seen a team win titles by putting
01:27Zero goals. I think I have a fair relationship with criticism. Because there is criticism
01:32Constructive criticism, and then there's the slightly dumber kind. That's not something that scares me.
01:37When I have to make a decision, I don't think to myself, "I'm going to be criticized." If
01:40I know that for me, it's the right decision, or perhaps it's not.
01:43but
01:43that it is necessary, I think my background has proven that I am going in the right direction.
01:48French football, Zidane. I don't need to answer Zidane. Zidane is Zidane.
01:56For the French, they mean a lot. They are a legend, they are the national hero, Zizou.
02:02They mean a lot to people in France. And to you? I'm French.
02:06I am no different. He represents elegance, he represents grandeur. He is someone
02:13who made history as a player for the national team. We were talking about Hittokon-like moments,
02:17He has some very iconic moments. He is the player who has perhaps represented today
02:23The most important thing is the French national team. When we say the French national team, today, when we tell you
02:27The French team, who do you say? Zidane, for sure, yes, as for the title, Platini, you,
02:33There.
02:33Again, it depends on the generation. After that, I think he's one of the players,
02:37He is, after all, one of those players who have transcended generations. Even today,
02:40If you ask 10-year-olds, they know it's Zidane. Maybe they'll answer
02:44Mbappé first, today. Yes, perhaps. He has made history in French football.
02:51Indelibly. Have you spoken to him since his appointment? No. We can't believe that.
02:57That's impossible. He didn't take his phone? No, he didn't. We'll
03:02'seen from next door.
03:05No, no, I didn't cross paths. I didn't see him before. I think out of respect for
03:11the coach,
03:13Didier Deschamps, and I think he also had his own things to do. But we'll have plenty of time to...
03:18se
03:18to cross. The fact that PSG have won it twice since you left, the fact that the
03:22Real Madrid no longer wins it.
03:23What does this raw observation inspire in you? Is it a raw observation? 2 plus 2,
03:28How much is that? 4.
03:29They won. You can't take that away from someone when they've won. I wouldn't like it.
03:33that we
03:33They'll take me off if I win. No, no, no. Congratulations to them. I think they earned their victory.
03:40They managed to string together a second win, and that's something extraordinary. They are
03:45the team to beat. So we, Madrid and all the teams, are going there with the idea of dethroning the team
03:50who won twice. But in your mind, are you rather, I don't
03:56I'm not in the right place
03:57right place at the right time, ultimately, where I am partly responsible for not having won it
04:01with PSG and I am partly responsible for not having won it since I have
04:05At Real Madrid? Or maybe it was just cycles. I end my cycle with PSG, they begin
04:12a new one where they buy five starters and it's a new cycle that begins, which had
04:17I've already started my final year, my first year with Henrique. We're in the semi-finals.
04:20By a hair's breadth, we made it to the final. So you were just a hair's breadth away from making three finals in a row, it was just a
04:24A new cycle was continuing; it was year two. And I wanted to move on to something else. I didn't
04:29I didn't see myself spending my whole life playing in Ligue 1. I wanted to fulfill my dream of playing for Real Madrid.
04:35Madrid, and I realized it. And the biggest club in the world, it's never a mistake to go to
04:41in the greatest
04:41world club. On social media, for example, there's this same image of you as a dictator.
04:46How did you take it?
04:47As if you were authoritarian and decided everything. Does that make you laugh, or does it
04:51Did it really annoy you?
04:52There's a funny part to it because you can tell that some people are good
04:57child. There is a part
04:57a little less funny because we know the damage that this kind of person has done throughout history.
05:03So being compared to people who murder people or who have made millions and millions
05:09As for unhappy people, I don't think I've done that in my life. So there is a
05:12a mix of things that
05:14He said, "I know it's in a lighthearted way, so it doesn't go that far. But it shows..."
05:20sometimes there is a lack of awareness, sometimes political and human, sometimes among people.
05:27Only Ousmane has the right to play a good game.
05:29Yeah, Ousmane is different. He got it from social media. So no, no,
05:36No, he's just joking.
05:37We talked about the Champions League, which is currently missing from your list of achievements, and the Ballon d'Or.
05:41Also. How are you experiencing it? Have you taken a step back from this trophy?
05:46No. I have a feeling I can win it this year, so I haven't taken a step back.
05:53In relation to that.
05:53Is that still one of your goals?
05:55Yeah, and in the short term too. It's coming up soon.
05:58Do you think you have what it takes to win it this year?
06:01Yeah, of course.
06:03So which ones?
06:04Of course. I think it's an individual trophy. We look at what the player has done in a...
06:08individual.
06:10Then people say I haven't won any trophies. I've never seen a Ballon d'Or.
06:13'or unanimously'
06:14who ticked everything every time. I don't know, you're in charge of the Ballon d'Or.
06:16Has anyone ever won with 100% of the votes?
06:20No.
06:20So that means there was always someone who felt he didn't deserve it.
06:23So, at that moment, I'm not saying I'm going to win unanimously,
06:27But I think I have a case. I think being the all-time top scorer in the Cup
06:31of the World
06:31to pass in front of all the greatest legends in the history of sport in the most important tournament that the
06:37sport was created,
06:39It's something that burns the retina, it's a global event.
06:41To finish as top scorer in all the major competitions,
06:44Where all the best players in the world play, that's something important.
06:49I don't know if it's been done before, but I always assume that history must
06:53always be rewarded.
06:54Who are you voting for?
06:57In my opinion ?
06:59I can understand those who vote differently. We are not living under a French dictatorship.
07:05But I think that when you look at the arguments, when you look at the competition, I look and I say
07:11Yeah, that wouldn't be a mistake.
