"I'm having trouble with Leo out on the right. In the middle, he can set the tempo. Something needs to be found in order to get Mbappe, Neymar and Messi to play together," he said. Henry also said that Mesis doe not have too much of an impact only because he goes high up and thus there are fewer balls directed to him. He further added that for now, it's Kylian Mbappe who is shining. "At any single moment there can only be one conductor, otherwise you can't play at the same tempo. And in this team, there are too many conductors," said Henry.
