Thierry Henry praises Gilberto Mora's quality after Mexico vs Ecuador

French football legend Thierry Henry has shared his admiration for the Mexico national team following their commanding display against Ecuador. The former Arsenal and Barcelona star was particularly impressed by the performance of young Gilberto Mora, highlighting the teenager's composure and maturity beyond his years.

"Don't forget about the little kid, the way he plays in the midfield, at times he controls the game, he understands when he has to stop and not go too early on the counter-attack, he generates fouls," Henry noted during his analysis on FOX.

The Frenchman credited the collective intensity of Javier Aguirre's squad, noting that their high-press approach effectively neutralized Ecuador from the opening minutes. Henry described the first 30 minutes of the match as a masterclass in how to win over the home crowd and put an opponent under immediate pressure.

Looking ahead, Henry emphasized the mystical bond between the Mexico squad and the fans at the Azteca Stadium. Describing them as an "unstoppable force" when united, he acknowledged the challenge awaiting their next opponent as the tournament progresses toward the upcoming clash with England.
