Kylian Mbappé: 'Prepare for the games to come'

The Paris Saint-Germain forward gives us his thoughts on the Qatar Tour 2019.

Kylian, you, Paris Saint-Germain, here in Doha!
"The weather is good, hot, the sun is out...that's a bit of a change! We're taking part in a number of marketing activations, interviews, and - of course - training, because we have a game to prepare against Guingamp at the Parc des Princes on Saturday."

Yes, the team is putting in a lot of work on the training pitch…
"We have to prepare for the games to come. We started 2019 without a lot of training, because the games came around quickly. Now, we have a bit more time, so we're going to take advantage of that to work."

You and your teammates are also here to promote the Paris Saint-Germain brand…
"Paris Saint-Germain is a young club that wants to develop itself. Of course, that firstly comes on the pitch, but also in terms of marketing. That's what 'growing' means, in every sense of the word. It's about sport, that's the most important aspect, but also marketing. Paris Saint-Germain have understood that."

The team will meet local fans during an open training session at the Khalifa Stadium. Do you feel the sense of excitement that Paris Saint-Germain creates?
"Yes, here and everywhere, in fact. I think it's important to have contact with your fans. Not only here, but around the world. They have the chance to come, the training session is open to them. So it's going to be an opportunity for us to spend some time together."
