00:00 Maybe sometimes we are not chauvinistic enough, because when I'm abroad I see that we are envied.
00:05 We are looked at with big eyes, no matter how you want to define it.
00:12 You have Mbappé, you have this, you have that, there is the other one there, there is him there, Warren is coming.
00:18 And I'm a bit of a smart guy. I say yes, yes, we are good.
00:24 So let's be chauvinistic. Where is the problem?
00:27 I believe that when the English have good players, we know it.
00:32 Yes, we know it, but not only in England.
00:35 When the Italians have good players, or when the Spaniards have good players, we know it.
00:38 Even in France, everyone says they are good.
00:40 So let's be French, let's be chauvinistic. Good luck.
00:44 And when you come back, if you come back, there is no problem. It's Kylian.
00:49 Frankly, I really have no problem with that.
00:52 People like to talk, and they will always talk, because it will always be a subject, and it's completely normal.
00:58 But I can tell you, to work abroad, and also play abroad, and live abroad,
01:03 sometimes it feels like they are more French than us.
01:07 Let's be happy that we are Kylian with us.
01:11 It doesn't matter, we are used to looking, overlooking, analysing, over-analysing what he does.
01:23 Yes, but let's be happy, he is French, and I am personally happy.
