Football star Kylian Mbappé praises Roger Federer in three words
In an interview to Radio Tele Suisse, the Paris-Saint Germain football star Kylian Mbappé praised Roger Federer, describing him in three significant words. 'An example, a role model, a legend,' said Mbappé.
Meanwhile, ahead of the Davis Cup final between France and Croatia in Lille last weekend, the captain Yannick Noah commented on how football and sports popularity in general increased over the last months. 'I spoke a little with Didier Deschamps. In the group, most of the guys are football fans. I remember the joy and the pride that the first title brought 20 years ago. Even this year, they gave us a great summer. What they did and how they did, it's very good. We see a lot of kids with Mbappé shirts now,' said Noah. 'They (footballers) sent us messages, they gave their support, their energy. And we listen at the same music as them.'
After his doubles win on Saturday with Pierre-Hugues Herbert, Nicolas Mahut had said: 'It's good that many people supports us, we feel so close to them and opponents feel pressure. It makes a difference. We tried to keep the team alive and tonight we will definitely be back to the hotel with a smile. But we won just a match and we need two more wins tomorrow. We want to win the Davis Cup and ee believe that our players can do it. Friday was a very difficult day for us while an unbelievable one for them, but tomorrow it's a new day and I hope this win in doubles can change everything. In the end people will just remember the champions.'
