Monaco striker Pietro Pellegri is optimistic for the upcoming season.

In the match of the next round of the League of 1 Pellegri scored in the gates of Bordeaux, which did not save Monaco from defeat with a score of 1: 2.

Nevertheless, 17-year-old Pietro became the youngest player in the history of Monaco after Kilian Mbappa, who managed to score a goal for the princely club in the official match.

"Mbagpe and I play in different positions," Pellegri said in an interview with RMC Info.

"Kilian plays across the entire width of the attack, and I prefer to act through the center. He is still young, but winning the World Cup at such a young age is something special. For me, Mbappa is an example to follow. "" This will be my year. I work hard to be in shape, and I'm going to show all my best qualities. I hope in my career there will be an "explosion". I'm going to make a breakthrough, "- summed up Pellegri.

Pietro moved to Monaco from Genoa, where he managed to become the youngest author of a double in the history of Serie A.
