Mbappé in crisis at Real: Henry reveals the real problem
Kylian Mbappé in difficulty at Real Madrid: Thierry Henry sounds the alarm
Since his arrival at Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé is going through a delicate period. The 25-year-old French striker, author of 8 goals in 15 appearances this season, struggling to find his feet. His last performance againstAC Milanmatch lost 1-3, highlighted his adaptation difficulties.
Even the supporters are starting to express their frustration. Thierry Henry, one of Mbappé’s biggest supporters, also expressed concerns about the player’s performance. He believes that it does not meet expectations.
Thierry Henry criticizes Mbappé’s lack of commitment
On CBS SportsThierry Henry did not mince his words. He highlighted a lack of effort and commitment on Mbappé’s part. Henry reminds us that he must evolve to meet the expectations of a modern striker. He must be able to be both a finisher and a leader on offense. The former Gunner compared Mbappé’s movements to those of his teammate Jude Bellingham. He praised the latter for his involvement on the ground.
“We have to give him time, but at the same time, he must learn to play like a number 9, have the desire and the will to project himself“, Henry said.
This observation highlights a key problem for Mbappé. The Bondynois is struggling to find his place in the Real Madrid system and assume a more central offensive role.
Growing frustration within the Madrid team
For Henry, the team itself is starting to show signs of frustration. According to him, the efforts of Jude Bellingham, who multiplies the runs to break the lines and support the attack, contrast with Mbappé’s style of play. This discrepancy could affect team cohesion and the dynamics of Madrid’s attack.
Henry added:
“It’s almost always Bellingham who tries to make the races, to make the team play, to clinch. He’s still the one trying to break the lines.“
Thierry Henry tried to define what we expect from Mbappé:
“We don’t ask him to keep the ball like Didier Drogba, we don’t ask him to dribble past everyone, but to project himself when the team is high.“
