"I see Messi isolated"

Thierry Henry expressed his concern about Leo Messi's state of mind. The former French player coincided with the Argentine at Barcelona and does not see him at the same level as he was then.

"He's isolated, he's touching the ball less. I wouldn't say he's sad, but he's isolated. I prefer him in the middle. I'm having a bad time. In the middle he can give rhythm," he told 'Amazon Prime Video'.

The Frenchman, in search of a new bench, assured that they have to find "something for the three of them to play together". "I don't think he can make a difference from the right, although I don't have the exact data on a tactical level. He can't have an impact, he's involved less often," he admitted.

"Messi doesn't talk a lot, he talks to the ball. For now it's Kylian's team, it's especially Mbappe who makes him shine, the ball goes more towards him. At some point there has to be a single leader, otherwise you can't play at the same pace. And in this team there are too many leaders," he said.

Henry sees from the outside how Mauricio Pochettino has not yet been able to manage the entire dressing room of a PSG side that, despite leading the way, is still not showing the right signs.
