Kylian Mbappé’s breathtaking soccer skills have propelled him to global fame. He earns more money than he could ever have imagined. @nike is designing pricey sneakers in his name. @kingjames wants to see him when he comes to town later that week. And when Mbappé steps out on the street, people beg him for autographs. Then there’s the fact that he’s still just 19 years old. When @k.mbappe scored one of France’s four goals in the FIFA World Cup Finals against Croatia this past summer, he not only clinched soccer’s biggest prize for his country — he also become the first teenager to score in a World Cup in 60 years. As he hurtles toward household-name status, the question looming over @k.mbappe is what kind of a soccer player he will be. For many in France, Mbappé is a living rags-to-riches fairy tale, his story beginning in Paris’ hard-hit immigrant suburbs or banlieues, whose crumbling high-rise blocks ring the city’s glittering core. He donated his World Cup earnings of about $500,000 to a charity teaching sports to sick and disabled children. “My mom has always told me that to become a great football player, you must be before all a great man,” he says.

◆キリアン・ムバッペ
「50万ユーロ（約6500万円）じゃ僕の人生を変えはしないけど、子供たちの人生は変えられる。最高のスターや最高の選手は最も謙虚な人間であり、人々に対して最も敬意を払う人間だということを自分は学んだ。3つの規範がある。それはリスペクト、謙虚さ、明晰さだ」
