"Annoying and stressful" - Adrien Rabiot unhappy with PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe for using 'fake' voice in interviews

Rabiot, who is currently plying his trade for Juventus at this point in time, said that Mbappe speaks with his teammates in a different tone, however, when goes in front of the mic, his voice changes.
Here's what the midfielder said (via Sports Brief):
“Kylian, he annoys me when he changes his voice in an interview. When we're together, he talks normally. But when you watch the interview, I don't know why his voice changes. It's annoying and stressful.”
Rabiot, however, shouldn't be too concerned with his international teammate's antics in front of the media as Kylian Mbappe was absolutely phenomenal for Didier Deschamps' side in Qatar.
The 24-year-old scored eight goals in the World Cup, including a hat-trick in the final. The former AS Monaco star was the first player since Sir Geoff Hurst in 1966 to bag a hat-trick in the final of the tournament.

Kylian Mbappe made a quick return to training with his club and is expected to feature in the Parisians' Ligue 1 return against Strasbourg.
