Thierry Henry is on a mission to guide the French U23 team at the Paris Olympic Games during the summer. Even if he has already half-heartedly admitted that selecting Kylian Mbappé will prove difficult, the Espoirs coach has not yet lost hope. This is what he says in an exchange with readers of the newspaper The Parisian. The Mbappé subject obviously came back on the table several times. The eldest considers him a very rare talent but he also does not forget that some players are a little overshadowed by the stature and notoriety of the star. He also believes that Antoine Griezmann is a particularly underestimated element. It highlights its regularity and versatility.
“Kylian is already in the future. And that's good, because it's France, it's our football and we have to have a guy who represents us everywhere. Kylian is extraordinary, he’s crazy! But we must not forget Griezmann, who reminds you that working is a talent. Griezmann is by far the most underrated player in existence. We often talk about Kylian, so rightly so that I am even in favor of abusing him. But Griezmann… Look at his passes and his goals. Tell me who in history could play all four offensive positions like him? There aren't many… Grizou is one of them.”assures Thierry Henry, a very fan of the Colchonero but who, a priori, he will not be able to take to the Olympics.
