When the ball rolls in Stuttgart in Stuttgart on Sunday afternoon in the National League duel between France and Germany (from 2:30 p.m. live on free TV at RTL) Then Kylian Mbappé should meet you on the lawn before which he has respect, like the superstar of the French eleven before the game in an exclusive interview with RTL/NTV and sport.de emphasized: DFB shooting star Florian Wirtz!
“He is a top talent and I think Germany can be lucky to have a player like him,” said Real Madrid’s attacker and reveals: “I like him and I like to see him play.”
With a view to the impending transfer of Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen to FC Liverpool, Mbappé added: “It looks like he is changing this summer. Then we will see how it will continue for him and whether he can still improve.”
On Sunday afternoon, the direct duel with the “really good player”, as Mbappé Wirtz called, is probably pending, at least when national coach Julian Nagelsmann also lets play. For Mbappé and the Germans, however, it is “only” for third place.
Mbappé was already in contact with Alonso

“I am very happy to have a trainer like him. We are ready to learn from him because we want to win and we feel that we can win with him,” Mbappé said his anticipation for Carlo Ancelotti’s successor.
