Mbappe: I came here to win World Cup
France superstar Kylian Mbappe has broken his media silence to insist his only focus is to help his team win a second consecutive World Cup.
The PSG star curled two stunning strikes to send the defending champions into the last eight, where they will face England, and looks a firm favourite to take the Golden Boot award.
However, he insists he's not interested in personal accolades, and is only thinking about lifting the famous trophy for a second time on December 18.
“The only objective for me is to win the World Cup,” Mbappe said.
“Now to win the next game, the quarter-final, is the most important thing and that is what I dream. The only thing I dream of is this.
“I came here to win this World Cup. I didn’t come here to win the Golden Ball or Golden Boot. If I win it, of course I’m going to be happy but that’s not why I am here. I am here to win and to help the French national team.”
Mbappe added: “I know people have been asking why I haven’t been appearing in front of the media.
“It wasn’t anything personal, I can assure you of that. I have nothing against journalists but I just needed to focus on the tournament and on my football.
“When I want to concentrate on something, that is the way I function and that is why I did not want to come and speak to you before now.
“So far things have been going well but we are a long way from the ultimate objective, which is to win the World Cup. Now we have to focus on the quarter-final and that is the most important thing now.”
Piers Morgan says Mbappe will present a huge challenge to England in the quarters but believes no-one will want to face England right now.
He tweeted: "France, and especially @KMbappe, will be a massive 1/4 Final challenge on Saturday night. But who the hell wants to play England in this World Cup right now? We have a great squad, top manager, and myriad players scoring goals for fun. The French should be more worried than us."
