PARIS.- “It doesn’t concern me,” he said. Kylian Mbappé about the revelations in the Swedish press echoing an investigation of the French footballer for an alleged case of rape in Stockholm, in an interview for the ‘Clique X’ program broadcast this Sunday on Canal+.
“I was surprised (…) These are things that come unexpectedly and you don’t see them coming. I haven’t received anything, no call. I’ve read the same thing as everyone else. The Swedish government hasn’t said anything. It doesn’t concern me,” explained the player real Madrid and captain of the French team, who had not expressed himself until now about that case that broke out in October.
The French star, who missed the last two call-ups for the ‘Bleus’, reaffirmed his “love for the French team”, a feeling that “has not moved.”
“The French team has always been the highest level in football. My love for the team has not changed. Yes, I miss it, because I haven’t been with the ‘Bleus’ for a long time,” Mbappé declared.
Chelsea gets closer to the top
Chelsea beat Tottenham 4-3 this Sunday in the 15th matchday of the Premier League, a victory that places the ‘Blues’ as the main pursuer of the leader Liverpool, taking advantage of Arsenal’s setback in their visit to Fulham (1- 1).
In a spectacular match full of alternatives, the ‘Spurs’ took the initiative with two goals in just over 10 minutes of play, scored by Dominic Solanke (5) and Swedish international Dejan Kulusewski (11).
The team coached this season by the Italian Enzo Maresca turned the score around with four goals, with a double from Cole Palmer (both from the penalty spot in the 61st and 84th minutes) and goals from Jadon Sancho (18) and the Argentine Enzo Fernández ( 73).
South Korea’s Son Heung-min’s injury-time goal (90+6) only served Tottenham to make up for the result.
With this victory, Chelsea has 31 points and is only 4 behind the leader Liverpool, whose match of the day against Everton was postponed due to bad weather conditions.
Arsenal, who did not go beyond a draw at Fulham (1-1), are third with 29 points, with Manchester City closing the Top 4 with 27 points.
