France’s captain Kylian Mbappe insists that in the future, if he becomes a father, it will never affect the boy’s choice to play for France or Cameroon.
“Dedication to France or Cameroon is completely up to the boy. That is personal choice. Because wearing any national team shirt comes from the heart, unlike choosing a club,” Mbappe emphasized when asked by Ivory Coast’s La Nouvelle Chain TV channel about giving his son a shirt in the future. Which national team, between France and Cameroon.
Besides, the 24-year-old star striker also emphasized that he will not use any thoughts to force his son to make his choice. “At that time, you have to see his relationship with the country, is it closer to Cameroon or to France. I myself was born in France and I am of Cameroonian origin.
But all my life from childhood to now, I have been attached to France. That’s why I chose France to dedicate. My son will be different. In the future, I will probably live in Cameroon. Then he will be deeply attached to Cameroon and will choose the Cameroon national team.
Or, we’ll live in France and he’ll choose Les Bleus. I myself never told him to be this way or that. Because it’s a personal choice. I will just be the father of the boy and I am not the one who tells him to do this or not to do that,” Mbappe added.
