Before I start this press conference, I just wanted to say a few words. The whole world knows the news that I will be a Real Madrid player for the next 5 seasons. It is a great pride for me, a dream come true. I am very happy, liberated and ready for this adventure.
" It is the club where I always wanted to be, Mbape said first. Later he made some shocking and strong statements accusing PSG of threatening to expel him from the club ."
"I've played a bit at the end of this season and everyone knows why. But I will prepare well to win the European Championship. PSG threatened me that I would not play at all this season, but Luis Enrique and Luis Campos have saved my career. They activated me a little, but I was prepared for the worst", confessed the champion.
Chile, you are accusing the club of PSG that you have not played much?
It's true. Now I am freed. It looks on my face. I played a lot less at the end of this season and the whole world knows why. That's how things are. You have to adapt when you're a player like that. This is no excuse for me before the European. I want to get fit as soon as possible and help France to win this trophy.
How did PSG communicate the fact that you weren't going to play much?
In every way. They let me understand this first, then told me to my face and did it with violence and threats. Luis Enrique and Luis Campos have saved me. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be touching the field of play this season. This is the truth and I am always grateful to the coach and the director. I hear the criticism and understand it. I know I'm not in shape and I've never been in such conditions. But I have pride and desire to rise again.
Why weren't you happy in Paris?
There were moments when I found happiness, but not completely. There are some things I couldn't tell him because I'm the leader. It would be harmful to come out with statements to attack PSG a few months ago. There is a lot of pressure from all sides, but there are more serious things in life than this. I get paid a lot to play football, while there are people who are paid very little working long hours in factories.
What do you prefer the European or the World Cup?
I think that the European is a more difficult competition than the World Cup. The games start to be tight from the start and we haven't won for 24 years, but we shouldn't put pressure on ourselves. We are prepared to make a good European.
What are the differences between coaches Enrique and Deschamps?
With Enrique there is more football with turnover. He likes to be in control of the game and the ball, it's his obsession. With coach Deschamps it is different. He is tactically rigorous, but gives you freedom in attack. I learned a lot from him.
Do you have a bitter taste from the last European?
It is one of the darkest pages of my career. In 2022 we reached as far as we could and now we will come back again. We will do the same. I have to show my values because the fans are furious to win this competition. They are looking forward to it and are confident that we can put on a great performance. The team is ready and has available players with a lot of experience.
Are you ready for France?
For me it is a big and beautiful day. I have to see things rationally. I have responsibility as the captain of this team. These issues are fading the national team from now on and until the end I will only answer for France. I want to protect my team because we have a beautiful summer ahead of us and we haven't won a European for a long time.
Have you received messages during this time?
Yes of course I did. I have been supported a lot by Ronaldo, Ramos, Casijas and the friends I have had in the past and those I will have in the future. It was a great pleasure to see so many beautiful and supportive messages. That's why football is beautiful. Now I want to focus as much as possible on my adventure with France and not think about the future.
