Thierry Henry threw his most beautiful sidelong glance by making his remark and it hit the mark.
Kylian Mbappé immediately burst out laughing.
In an interview broadcast on Prime Video this Sunday, in the program "Dimanche Soir Football", from 7 pm, the star consultant of the Ligue 1 co-broadcaster, was offensive with the PSG striker.
"Is your English very good, is your Spanish too?"
"Henry slipped to Mbappé, thinking, without citing him, of the prospect of a departure from Real Madrid next season.
"Yes, he's very good," the Parisian finally answered, with a smile on his face.
It's because I wanted to be a great soccer player and a public figure and someone important.
Today, you can't want to be an international star and speak only French, that doesn't make sense.
You have to know how to adapt, in all circumstances.
You get there, you know how to talk ... And there you go.
"
Henry does not let go:
- So that's just why, no…?
- No, afterwards, of course, if one day you travel, you have to speak the language.
- Oh yes!
(
laughs
)
- But no, first of all, it was not for that.
Afterwards, if it serves me, so much the better, by the way, we will not do without.

In another excerpt, Henry gets more serious to ask Mbappé: "What are you afraid of?"
".
The world champion replies, as often, with his heart: “Not to win.
To disappoint.
Because you are demanding of yourself.
People are demanding of me, but I am much more demanding of me than people are of me.
You always have an over-requirement on yourself.
You know what it is: you talk to yourself, to say to yourself:
There you are, I can't be like that, I can't disappoint, I can't play badly
.
And it's something that drives you every day.
Every day when you prepare for the match you say to yourself:
This match, I can't help but play well.
"
Kylian Mbappé will be this Saturday evening, in Lens, with Paris.
