Mbappe expects ‘weird’ World Cup reunion with inspiration Henry
Kylian Mbappe admitted it will be bizarre to see former idol Thierry Henry backing Belgium in France’s bid for a place in the World Cup final,National Daily learnt.
Henry, a 1998 champion with Les Bleus, finds himself in a peculiar position leading into Tuesday’s semi-final encounter in St Petersburg as he plots the downfall of his home nation.
The former Arsenal forward has assisted Belgium boss Roberto Martinez since 2016 and could provide valuable insights into the team he represented on 123 occasions.
Mbappe, long likened in playing style to Henry, anticipates mixed feelings from both sides.
“It’s going to be weird to see Thierry again. He is someone I like a lot,” the teenager told Telefoot.
