He told Le Parisien: "Kylian will be on one of the ceilings of the world. On the ceiling of Paris, or on the ceiling of Madrid or… Will he have one or more Ballons d'Or? I wish. Above all, Kylian shouldn't limit himself.

"I said, several years ago, that there are similarities between Kylian and Pelé. It is a good example to follow. Pelé has played four World Cups, he won 3.

"Kylian, at 22, has played one and already won one. The France team, which was world champion with young executives and with the margin, has everything not to prevent itself from fighting to win the next one."
