Mbappé: "Today's football leaves nothing to chance"

The French soccer player Kylian Mbappé explained this Monday in a videoconference conversation with the French astronaut Thomas Pesquet, currently on the International Space Station (ISS), that today's soccer "leaves nothing to chance" and is based more and more in data analysis.

It was UEFA who organized a small colloquium between the two as a promotional act for Euro 2021, which begins this Friday with Turkey-Italy in Rome.

Their two respective careers, according to the player, have similarities: Behind the success "there is a lot of work, a lot of sacrifice and the luck of finding the right people at the right time."

The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) striker added that sometimes, even by working hard, you don't achieve your dreams and you have to "talk more about those cases" because there are many people who have dedicated a lot of effort to it and who , "Unfortunately, they have not achieved their goal."

Mbappé:

Pesquet asked him about the role of science and data in football and he replied that his role is "omnipresent".

"You can individualize our work based on our tests, our results, to see how much progress we can make in a season. There is also monitoring of nutrition and sleep. Today's football leaves nothing to chance," he said. .

Pesquet and Mbappé, currently concentrated in Enghien-les-Bains with his national team, talked for 20 minutes and both asked each other questions that aroused their curiosity: "What is it like to be in space?" the footballer asked the astronaut.

"Well, there are a lot of sensations. At first, at launch, it's like being on a roller coaster but with 10,000 times more power. And then, suddenly, it calms down. You can float, fly, lift heavy objects... it's a bit as if you were in a dream," said Pesquet.

Mbappé was astonished: "It's crazy, it's crazy," he repeated several times when he saw him floating in the middle of the Columbus laboratory, the ISS's work area, with a soccer ball that was also suspended in the air.

The footballer would not mind experiencing it: "I would love to go. There are other things in life outside of football. It would be an incredible experience."
