What he does is just non-sense – Thierry Henry showers praise on Kylian Mbappe

French legend Thierry Henry has showered praise on Kylian Mbappe for his fine performances. Mbappe has been performing consistently for PSG Saint-Germain as he is ticking the right boxes. The youngster has a lot of speed under his arsenal and he can breathe down the neck of the opposition’s defender with his agility on the pitch.

Mbappe scored in the stoppage time against Nantes to help his team beat them by 4-2 on Sunday. With this strike, the Frenchman became the leading goal-scorer in PSG’s history, leapfrogging Edison Cavani’s tally of 200 goals.

Henry said, as quoted by Le10 Sport: “If Mbappé is hot? It is never cold. Joking aside of course, 201, they must have scored goals in training too. What he does is just nonsense, I often say it, let’s be proud and happy that he is French.”

Former Arsenal forward hailed Mbappe’s professionalism and his consistency in the training sessions.

He added: “For me what is super important and what we don’t talk about enough is his professionalism. We always talk about his goals, his acceleration, but he’s a guy who works, who comes to training early, who is always on the pitch, who always wants to learn and try to go further.”

Henry hailed Mbappe as a perfect heir to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as he has been performing consistently for both country and club.

“When you look at the two bosses before him, (Cristiano) Ronaldo and Messi, it’s the same thing. That’s why I called him the heir because he’s the one who comes after for me and that’s clear.”

“It’s his desire that I like, his understanding of the game. You have to get up early to score 201 goals in 247 games, you have to live, breathe football, have this desire. This admiration I have for him is that I know it’s hard to stay at the top level and do what he does.”

PSG Saint-Germain will next face Bayern Munich in the second leg of Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday evening.
