FRANCE-MAROC: "ICI IL N’Y A PAS DE SENTIMENT", LA RÉACTION À CHAUD DE MBAPPÉ SUR LA TRISTESSE DE SON AMI HAKIMI
Although he is very close to Achraf Hakimi, the captain of the French team Kylian Mbappé was not disappointed, in the heat of the moment, for his friend, eliminated by Les Bleus with Morocco in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, Thursday in Boston.
He sat on the Gillette Stadium pitch, arms crossed. Achraf Hakimi will miss the World Cup semi-finals for the second time in a row. The Atlas Lions' journey ended in the quarter-finals on Thursday in Boston. France proved too strong for Morocco (2-0). While the Moroccan right-back's PSG teammates, such as Désiré Doué and Lucas Hernandez, tried to comfort him, Kylian Mbappé, Hakimi's former teammate and now a close friend, answered questions from beIN Sports. He spoke about France's qualification for the semi-finals, about his goal, and… about the Moroccan's sadness.
"It will be harder when I see him again in the locker room."
When asked "Is it hard to see Achraf sad at the end?", Mbappé replied: "No, it will be harder when I see him again in the locker room because we become human again, we become friends again. But here, no, there is no emotion. We were there to win. He was there to win too."
And Mbappé continued: "When I see him again in the locker room, it's sure to affect me because he's a very close friend. But here there are no feelings involved."
The French team will be vying for a place in the World Cup final on Tuesday evening in Dallas (9pm) against the winner of the quarter-final between Spain and Belgium on Friday in Los Angeles.
