Thierry Henry was full of praise for Kylian Mbappé, who has just reached the 300 career goal mark.
During the French team’s historic defeat against Gibraltar (14-0), last Saturday at the Allianz Riviera in Nice, Kylian Mbappé scored a hat-trick, including a magnificent final goal. An achievement which is none other than his 300th since his professional debut with AS Monaco. All at only 24 years old. An extraordinary performance, which neither Lionel Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo achieved at the same age, which was warmly praised by Thierry Henry.
“We are demanding of him, but he didn’t have to be so good”
“What this little guy is doing is nonsense. It gets us so used to it… It’s just incredible. This guy, he doesn’t even really play in the middle. He plays everywhere, he scores goals, passes. The problem when you’re very, very, very strong is that people often see what you’re missing, or when you haven’t been good. We’re demanding of him, but he didn’t have to be so good.”thus released the coach of the Espoirs in the columns of The Teamand add: “Joking aside, let’s be happy that he’s French. He already has 300 goals, and he’s 16 years old (laughs)… What do you want me to tell you? There are some who haven’t even put that into training in their career. »
“These guys are just on another planet, and Kylian is part of that”
“How high can he go?” Thousand. No, I’m overdoing it… But Kylian, he’s the one who will decide, quite simplycontinued Titi. To be around him a little, I know that he breathes football, that he prepares well… It’s like talking about Messi and Ronaldo: since the age of 16, they have played every match. These guys are just on another planet, and Kylian is a part of that. I wish him to double his goal total within four or five years. »
