Thierry Henry Explains Ballon d'Or Comments on Yamal, Kate and Harry Kane

My people,

this is Thierry once again.

So I've been seeing a lot of people talking about the Ballon d'Or

night. Uh, so I wanna clarify some stuff

for some people that

got really excited for

actually nothing.

First and foremost, with

Lamine Yamal, I

wasn't checking his ego at all.

I just thought

that as the

third time that he's winning

that trophy, I just ask him

if that's the one that he really wanted.

Uh, and that brought all the laugh out of, uh, people.

We all know what he wanted. Unfortunately,

he didn't get it. I'm a big fan of Lamine

Yamal. I wasn't checking his ego

whatsoever.

That you didn't like

the joke, um,

I, I can, I can understand,

but please don't, don't do that.

He's the actually one of the

pal-- uh, player, sorry, that I will

pay to watch.

I love him. So,

um, it was just--

I was just asking if it's the one that he

really wants 'cause I know

the-- where his prize was coming after.

And unfortunately,

he didn't win it 'cause he's a hell

of a player that I enjoy to watch, and

I will pay to watch him. Now let's move on to Kate.

Kate was with me on that joke,

and you can ask Kate, by the way.

She did it

on purpose to say Socrates.

And I had to say Socrates.

Again, that you didn't like the

joke, I understand.

But please

stop saying

I did disrespect Kate.

I will never do that.

And you can ask her, people.

She was on the joke with me.

She did Socrates on purpose-- say Socrates on purpose,

and I say Socrates. So please stop inventing

stories. And the last one,

if you don't watch our show on

CBS,

Harry Kane the other day after

the game Bayern Munich versus

Arsenal called me out for supporting

Kylian Mbappé.

So I just told him the other day,

"Although I'm French, and I

was always going to back up and support my

fellow countrymen,"

I just said to him, "You are a worthy winner.

You deserve it. You are the example of what I

always call

work ethic is a talent,

working hard is a talent."

I said, "You are a worthy winner. Well

done, Harry

Kane." And I call him

Sir Harry Kane since the World Cup.

So please, people out there, relax,

relax.

I love Harry Kane,

I love Lamine

Yamal, and I didn't disrespect Kate.

She was on the joke with me.

Once again, have a good night. See you soon.
