Fluent Footballers: Surprising Language Skills

You are not ready to hear how fluent these footballers actually are in English.

It is honestly shocking considering many have never played in an English-speaking country.

Take Desire Doue, who was born and raised in France, yet gives interviews with zero hesitation.

Kylian Mbappe is the same; he sounds like he’s been living in London for years. But the wildest

story is Riccardo Calafiori. He admitted he learned the language just by binging Netflix

and listening to UK drill music. Even Alisson Becker is so good he steps in to translate

for his teammates. It turns out being a world-class athlete comes with some serious linguistic

skills too.
