Kylian Mbappé: The Definitive Biography

內容簡介

內容簡介 The dynamic, authoritative life story of the world's greatest soccer player that paints a vivid portrait of Mbappé's meteoric rise to global stardom. "Only the second teenager to have scored a goal in a World Cup Final! Welcome to the club--it's great to have some company!"--Pelé This was the praise lauded upon Kylian Mbappé who, at just nineteen years of age, led France to triumph at the 2018 World Cup. As golden confetti rained down, millions across the globe watched as the young man kissed the iconic trophy; the heir to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the best footballer in the world had announced himself. It was his crowning moment. In Kylian Mbappé The Definitive Biography, Julien Laurens, the world's leading French soccer journalist, crafts a vivid portrait of Mbappé's meteoric rise to global stardom. After a decade covering Kylian's career, Julien has had unprecedented access to the player's friends, coaches, and teammates. Exploring Mbappé's humble upbringing in the suburbs of Paris and schooling at the famed Clairefontaine academy, his peerless rise with AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as his dream move to Real Madrid where his career has reached new heights, this extensive biography crafts an intimate account of Kylian's life. Julien takes us into the inner workings of Mbappé's psyche, as we witness how becoming a world superstar at just nineteen affected the young Parisian. From the complex relationship he had with his boyhood club (and its hierarchy) to valiantly losing against Lionel Messi's Argentina in the 2022 World Cup Final, and becoming the new face of Real Madrid's galácticos, Julien shows us how the Mbappé that is poised to star at the 2026 World Cup is unrecognizable from the young man who won it with France in 2018.
