Journalist
After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial staff of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
If PSG is at the top of Ligue 1, for the capital club and Luis Enrique, it is much more difficult in the Champions League. The threat of elimination from the league phase looms, which would then be a catastrophe. Would this have a particular connection with the departure of Kylian Mbappé during the summer of 2024? Thierry Henry asked himself the question.
In 2022, the PSG managed to retain Kylian Mbappé and convince him to extend it. In 2024, things happened differently. Having reached the end of his new term, he did not want to continue his adventure Paris and initial a new contract. It is free that Mbappé then engaged with the Real Madrid. A financial but also sporting blow for the capital club which saw the departure of a player who guaranteed more than 40 goals per season. If this departure of the Frenchman did not necessarily have any consequences in Ligue 1, the same cannot be said in the Champions League. After 6 days, the group of Luis Enrique is only 25th out of 36 with 7 points and above all 6 goals scored.
Thierry Henry and the Luis Enrique case
This Tuesday evening, on RMC, Thierry Henry was asked about the PSG et Luis Enrique. Firstly, regarding the coach of the capital club, the former coach of the Espoirs explained: “ It's his vision of the game, you have to respect what he likes to do. He puts players on the field where he thinks they will be able to adapt to what is asked of him. And that's not necessarily what people want to see or I don't know. I don't know exactly everything that is said about him. But, as I often say, you have to respect that ».
“Is it because Kylian left or not? »
It is then that Thierry Henry drifted onto the problems of PSG in the Champions League. Do they have anything to do with the departure of Kylian Mbappé ? The 98 world champion asked himself the question: “ It's true that it's a little harder in the Champions League, but when you look closely, the opportunities are there in all the matches. They have the opportunities to beat teams, and quite clearly. Is it because Kylian (Mbappé) left or not? Did they bring back what they needed or not? This is not my debate. But it's good to have coaches of this size in the championship ».
