Neymar: Mbappe is the future No. 1

On Sunday evening, French TV channel 'Canal+' will broadcast a documentary about Mbappe, with 'AFP' claiming that Neymar and Thierry Henry spend most of the show speaking of the youngster in glowing terms.

Henry was quick to underline the importance of taking care of the former Monaco man, saying: "We have a rare jewel in France, something that doesn't happen very often. We have to protect him and every now and again annoy him a bit as he's just a kid and when you annoy him, he responds positively and it wakes him up too.

"He needs to believe in the monster he has inside of him. When that monster comes out and takes control of his body, he can do things that mere mortals can't understand," Henry continued.

Meanwhile, Mbappe touched briefly on the whistles as critical reception he received when he returned to former club Monaco back on November 26. "I did almost as much in six months than more than three quarters of the players in the history of the club have done. You could criticise me for only doing six months, but in six months I had the best season in the club's history," he explained of his time witht he Monegasque side.

Finally, club team-mate Neymar heaped praise upon the France international, saying: He's already a great player and he can be ever better. With his quality and his game, if he keeps developping in the same way it's certain that he will become the number one.
