Nothing that touches football is foreign to Thierry Henry.

Consultant (among others) for CBS, the 1998 world and 2000 European champion was inevitably invited to speak on the Kylian Mbappé case, in the process of throwing a new crisis at PSG.

The Parisian striker in the Champions League match against Benfica on Tuesday evening (1-1) is not happy with his positioning or the Parisian recruitment, and seems ready to set sail in January, despite his highly publicized extension of contract last summer.


🗣 "There's only one rule, the boss is asking you to do something, you do it for the good of the team."



🗣 "There's too much ego, too much power for a 24-year-old player."

“I don't know what they [the Parisian leaders] promised him, reacted Tuesday evening the former striker with 51 goals in Blue on a set of the American chain.

Seen from the outside, it is as if he had never been told "no" in his life.

“Henry assured understand that Mbappé does not like his position on the ground.

But he underlined the "versatility" of the Parisian, unlike other pure center forwards like Haaland, Shearer or Papin.

And above all, the need to think of the team before oneself.

Henry summons his move to Barça

The luxury consultant thus recalled his own experience in Barcelona (from 2007 to 2010), where he "hated" the position he was given.

“I had to go play on the left side.

I didn't hear anyone say: “Oh what a great gesture to go and play on the left side for others who had scored less and fewer caps than me”.

But I always remembered that there was only one rule: the boss asks you to do something, you do it for the good of the team, and your team wins.

If your team lost, I would have understood the debate.

Henry incriminates Mbappé for his behavior, but not only.

PSG, with its ritual difficulties in imposing itself as an institution larger than its members, also takes it for its rank: “Did they make him feel that the club was the most important thing?

Or did they make him feel more important than the club?

Purely rhetorical questions.
