Tonight’s Qatar World Cup final will take place between Argentina and France, and Paris Saint-Germain President Nasser Alhelefi also accepted an exclusive interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport and talked about topics related to Mbappe and Lionel Messi.
Regardless of the outcome between Argentina and France, Paris Saint-Germain will be the big winner. Messi and Mbappe will be opponents on the court tonight, fighting for the World Cup.
As president of Paris Saint-Germain, I am very proud because many of our players have become the protagonists of this competition, scoring a total of 20 goals and assists, at least six more than other clubs, and setting all kinds of records at the same time.
Killian is the first Parisian player to play in two World Cup finals in a row, and he is only 23 years old. Leo will become the player with the most appearances in the World Cup, which is also an amazing achievement. Ashraff also led Morocco to the semi-finals, so there are a total of three Parisian players in the semi-finals and 11 Parisian players throughout the World Cup.
Have you talked to Macy and Mbappe?
During the World Cup, I talked to all the players and their families. I mean, everyone, without exception, had an incredible experience, and Qatar and the whole Middle East were excited about the final.
But now that the champion is going to be between France and Argentina, who is your favorite?
Obviously I am a Qatari fan and I am proud that my national team can play at this level. But I am also very close to France from the bottom of my heart, and I will cheer for all the players who have played well so far, and I will also support teams in the same region, such as Morocco, whose performance is exciting.
Eighty-two percent of Moroccans watched the 1UBG 8 final against Spain on television, an incredible testament to the power of football and passion from all over the world. In terms of the result, Saudi Arabia’s victory over Argentina was one of the most shocking and surprising matches of the World Cup.
Will Messi and Mbappe stay at Paris Saint-Germain next season?
Killian has just signed a new contract and Leo’s contract will last at least until the end of the season. Both are my players and are happy to play for Paris Saint-Germain. Their recent performance has proved that they were at their best even before the start of the World Cup.
Paris Saint-Germain has not lost a game so far this season. As for Lionel Messi’s contract will not be decided until next year, the club and the players will continue to do the right thing and need to be in the best interests of both sides. Now we all feel very happy, which is great.
From an organizational point of view, this is a successful World Cup, perhaps the best response to Qatari criticism?
Maybe we are only a small country, but we are ambitious. This World Cup has proved that every country has the right to host such a big event. The World Cup belongs to everyone, not just a few countries.
No one is perfect, but there are many hypocrisy and double standards in the world. Many people, including me, have no official positions in the organizing committee of this World Cup, but we all hope that the competition will be held successfully and bring the best experience to all.
This is part of our culture, and it is amazing that we are in an atmosphere of joy and multiculturalism, along with our families and children, to open our hearts to people of all cultures and lineages and to offer our home to them.
Regardless of the result of the final, Paris Saint-Germain will have the world championship, but you have not won the Champions League so far. Maybe Messi and Mbappe can win the cup together this season?
We still have a lot of work to do, and Paris is entering a new stage of growth and development, and it is well known that, given the valuation of Paris Saint-Germain at 4 billion euros, many people have asked us to allow minority shareholders to intervene. But you should remember one thing: we bought Paris for only 70 million euros ten years ago, and by the end of the season, our new sports center will be unveiled, which will be one of the best sports centers in the world. it’s great for all the players and staff, and we can’t wait.
