Thierry Henry, the coach of the France U21 team who will also lead the U23s at the Paris Olympics this summer, praised Kylian Mbappe’s prowess on the field, describing him as a formidable force. He emphasized that Mbappe’s presence in the French national team is a source of envy for other nations.
In an interview with Le Parisien, Henry expressed admiration for Mbappe, labeling him as a “monster” in terms of his performance. He highlighted how people worldwide admire France for having such a talent. Henry noted that while criticisms may arise domestically, abroad, there’s widespread envy for France’s possession of Mbappe.
Mbappe has expressed his interest in participating in the upcoming Olympic Games. However, his potential transfer to Real Madrid could hinder this ambition. Real Madrid has made it clear that none of their French players, including Mbappe, will be released for the tournament. Henry seems to have come to terms with this situation, stating that regardless of Mbappe’s destination after leaving PSG, Real Madrid is unlikely to release him for the Olympics.
Next, the 25-year-old Mbappe is set to represent Didier Deschamps’ France team in friendly matches against Germany and Chile on March 23 and 26, respectively.
