Mauricio Pochettino, who oversaw Messi's blockbuster move from Barcelona to the Parisian club in 2021, just six months after taking the job, has responded to Henry. Pochettino, currently the manager of the United States national team and formerly of Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and Tottenham, called the comments from the French and Arsenal legend about his handling of his compatriot Lionel Messi during his time at PSG 'lies'. Henry said he couldn't understand why Pochettino played Messi on the right wing when his best position is next to Neymar. In response, Pochettino said: 'I replied and told him that Pochettino and his staff did not deliberately send Messi to the right in the second half. Sometimes players find themselves in a defensive position'.
