His comments about Cameroon feel heartfelt. Do you think he would have had the same success with their national team?

I feel you, his passion for Cameroon really shines through. With that drive, I'm sure he'd crush it wherever he plays.

Hmm, Mbappé's talent is unique, but Cameroon's setup and opportunities differ. Hard to say he'd shine exactly the same.
