La Sexta got the exclusive interview with Kylian Mbappé last night. It shouldn't surprise anyone. At La Sexta, there is García Ferreras.
García Ferreras, former employee of Florentino and now a top-level advisor, calls the shots at La Sexta. Ana Pastor, the interviewer, is his partner. It all makes sense.
Ana Pastor went to Nuria Roca's show to promote the interview with Mbappé, which aired last night.
Florentino's Advisor Gets the Exclusive
"We had been pursuing this interview for a year and a half, it almost cost us more than his signing for Real Madrid. Two weeks ago, they told us yes to the interview." This is how Ana Pastor confessed the "difficulty" involved in having Mbappé exclusively.
As a sign of gratitude, Ana Pastor, the partner of Florentino Pérez's trusted man, began to shower the interviewee with praise.
"He's a star who doesn't act like a star, he's very down to earth. He's a guy who talks about everything, mental health, racism... He speaks Spanish like he's from Cádiz," she said.
She added: "He has that intelligence of a guy who always wants to learn things. He's one of the most intelligent people I've interviewed in recent years. He reminded me of many things about Nadal, because he came and introduced himself to the team as if we didn't know who he is..."
Mbappé's Level of Intelligence
There appeared Gonzalo Miró, a panelist on the show and known supporter of Atlético de Madrid. Tired of so much praise, he threw a jab at Ana Pastor, García Ferreras's partner.
"Just for being from Madrid, he already has a superior level of intelligence, Nadal, Mbappé, well..." Miró perhaps was burned by the campaign already organized for Mbappé to be awarded the Ballon d'Or.
Ana Pastor, aware that the dose of praise for Mbappé had been exceeded, defended herself by referring to a Barça player: "I could also tell you Pau Gasol. There are athletes you want to interview and others you don't, I would love to interview Simeone, but he has never given me an interview and I've tried."
"I'm going to watch it tonight, to see how you put him on the spot", Gonzalo Miró told Ana Pastor, an acerbic interviewer in other facets of her profession.
"I'll let you know that no. Mbappé has achieved something unprecedented in me, which is that I seem nice", Ana Pastor replied.
"Well, I imagine you asked him why if he wanted to play for Madrid since he was little, it took him so many years", Miró pointed out. "Yes, he explains it but he didn't make me frown too much," Ferreras's partner replied.
"We must thank Mbappé for bringing out the best side of Ana. Just for that, the admiration for Kylian multiplies", insisted Gonzalo Miró. "I'm not going to get into provocations, the new Ana Pastor won't respond to anything nasty."
