Recently, Mbappe and his French teammate Paul Pogba were caught in the “witch doctor” incident. But Pogba said there was no such thing at all, and he was blackmailed by others. But as things stand, Mbappe chose to trust his teammates.
“He called me, he gave his version of the facts,” Mbappé said. “It’s his word against the word of his brother. He (Paul Pogba) already has certain problems and I think it’s not the time to add to them for him. We’ll see how that all goes, I’m pretty detached from all that.”
“Today, I prefer to believe the word of my teammate. It is his word against the word of his brother, I am going to believe my teammate. It’s not a time to put more onto him.”
“I think it’s in the interests of the national team as well with a big tournament coming up.”
Mbappe and Pogba played key roles in France’s 2018 World Cup victory in Russia and hope to play a part in defending the trophy in Qatar later this year.
