He said, "I'm a player who defends a little less than others, and sometimes that can be a problem. It's true that I do it less, but I notice that when I do, it really impacts the team.
"At Real Madrid, when I do it, you can see that everyone else is doing it too."
And he added: "They (his teammates) criticise me for that, and it doesn't bother me, because it's constructive criticism."
Mbappe, however, concedes he's no fan of interviews.
He also told The Bridge: "I'm tired of interviews. The journalist is there to make you say what you don't want to say, and you don't want to say what he wants you to say. It's like a boxing match."
