Thierry Henry Suffers Brutal Troll From CBS Sports Colleague – And It’s an All-Time Classic
When Thierry Henry joined the CBS Sports studio to dissect the Champions League action, little did he know that his colleague had a cheeky trick up his sleeve.
Henry, the Arsenal legend, was discussing the U.S. men’s national soccer team with his colleagues, including Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards. The conversation turned to the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as the team’s new boss, with ex-Leeds United player Mike Grella throwing his hat into the ring.
But things took an unexpected turn when Grella decided to take a swing at Henry, aiming a brutal dig at the French football icon. "I know you played in the MLS… I replaced you, remember?" Grella sneered, leaving Henry visibly taken aback.
Henry, never one to shy away from a challenge, replied with a defiant "Don’t go there… you didn’t replace me!" The tension was palpable as Carragher and Richards burst out laughing, sensing the awkwardness.
"Oh, very big problem!" Richards chuckled, while Carragher quipped, "Mike, I think that’s the end of your CBS career!" Henry and Grella continued to bicker, but it was clear that the moment had already gone viral.
So, what was the context behind Grella’s bold claim? As it turns out, the American midfielder joined the New York Red Bulls in 2015, just three years after Henry had played his last game for the club. Grella had a decent run with the Red Bulls, scoring 18 goals across all competitions.
Henry, meanwhile, had a phenomenal stint with the club, bagging an impressive 52 goals during his time with the Red Bulls.
While it’s unclear whether Grella’s jibe will affect his CBS Sports career, one thing’s for sure – the TV audience loved it! Fans took to social media to praise the brutal honesty and humor displayed by Grella, with many calling for him to be rewarded for his cheeky attempt to troll Henry.
In any case, it’s all in the spirit of fair play and healthy competition, and we can’t get enough of it!
