Thierry Henry Delivers Scathing Criticism of Kylian Mbappé

While analyzing for CBS Sports, Thierry Henry was quite critical of Mbappé’s work rate when he led the line for Real Madrid.

“It is Bellingham who behaves more like a No. 9, making the runs, and trying to make the team play. He never runs.” Henry said (h/t Get French Football News).“It’s not good enough. One thing that was spoken about is how will Ancelotti balance the team. Rodrygo gave the team balance.” 

Amid all the criticism, SPORT has reported that the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner isn’t interested in playing as a No. 9 for Real Madrid. He’d rather stick to his usual role on the left, which is currently Vinicius Junior’s spot. As a result, it puts the Spanish side in a difficult situation.
