The career of the famous Frenchman Kylian Mbappe could have developed in a completely different way. Former London "Chelsea" scout Serge Daniel Boga revealed that the sniper participated in the "Blues" team trial in 2012, but the two sides did not reach an agreement. "Chelsea" first invited him to a trial. My friend, who was working for "Nike" at the time, revealed that there was a promising player in France and urged me to take a look. He made an impression on me and I convinced the London team to invite the striker to England. K.Mbappe arrived with his family and demonstrated the skills now known to everyone. We played against "Charlton" and won 7-0. A week later, we went to the club's office and the player was told: "We liked what we saw, but we invite you to another trial and then we'll see." I remember Kylian's mother begging through an interpreter: "Listen, we're not coming back. If you want, sign now, otherwise in five years, if you want him back, you'll have to pay 50 million euros!" It turns out, the mother was right and now someone paid even 180 million euros. The woman knew what her son was capable of and she was not wrong. K.Mbappe was already talented back then, but in England, they wanted to see a more versatile athlete. At that time, Kylian was not like that, and he did not play in defense. When he had the ball, he could play amazingly, but otherwise, he didn't try very hard," the scout said.
