Thierry Henry expressed a preference for coaching Kylian Mbappe over Erling Haaland during CBS Sports punditry following a Champions League match. In the game, both stars showcased their talents, with Haaland scoring first and later from the penalty spot, while Mbappe equalized early. Henry noted Mbappe's adaptability in playing as a central striker after primarily playing left wing, suggesting he possesses stronger playmaking abilities. Conversely, he recognized Haaland's proficiency as a traditional number nine, highlighting their contrasting playing styles amid ongoing comparisons of the two as football's future stars.
Kylian, for me, has more of a pass. I'll explain. This is a guy that's trying to play as a nine for one and a half years.
Haaland has been playing as a nine since the beginning of his career. We thought that they were going to be the two guys that were going to come after Messi.
