For Thierry Henry, coach of the French hopefuls and Olympic team, the pressure suffered by Kylian Mbappé is not easy to manage. For him, people must be lenient towards the captain of the Blues and Paris Saint-Germain striker.
During a documentary onTeam which will be broadcast on February 12, the top scorer in Arsenal’s history spoke about the pressure weighing on the number 7 of the red and blue.
“I’ve been in a bit of this kind of situation where the expectation was a bit on you. It is not easy. People think it’s easy to always arrive, score two goals, like he does. »
Before continuing: “As they say in English: who helps the helper? Who helps the guy who helps everyone in general? At some point, when he too needs help, are people lenient? Are they there with him? Are they there to help him? Or are they waiting until he weakens to kill him? »
Kylian Mbappé with Henry at the 2024 Olympic Games?
Thierry Henry is one of Kylian Mbappé’s greatest defenders. And vice versa. The two men could also meet again this summer during the Paris Olympic Games. The first of the two will be the coach of the French Olympic team.
The second should, barring a turnaround or injury, play these Games in Paris and be captain. The Parisian number 7 should in principle know his fate in the coming weeks. But everything suggests that he will be one of those selected for this prestigious tournament.
