Arsenal legend Thierry He,ry slammed Joao Felix after his poor performance against Real Madrid on Wednesday night saying he has to make the difference for the huge wages he’s been paid.

The Portuguese super star is the 15th highest-paid Chelsea player this season with more than €6m annual salary according to Spotrac.

However, the Atletico Madrid loanee is yet to convince since he arrived in London in January this year.

Felix only scored 2 goals in 13 appearances for the Blues and his lack of dominance in important games is being criticized.

“You would have liked to think that Joao Felix would have had the composure in the box”, Henry said on CB Sports on his post-match analysis.

“I have been in those situations, it is not easy. But what was easy for me is that you need to have the awareness to cut across. That is the first thing that you learn as a center forward,” Henry said on the UEFA Champions League Post-Match Show.

“When you guys (defenders) are chasing and I know that you are chasing, I cut across. Slow, a quick striker, whatever it’s.

“It will give you the advantage of having a one-v-one or a red card. Then when he goes on his right foot, he dummies one time. Come back. But I have been in that situation and I like to think that I am composed in the box.

“My job is to bring you to the other side,” Henry continued, quoting his former coach Pep Guardiola.

“I will give you a plan, the strengths and weaknesses of a team. My job is to bring you from this box to the other box. After that, it is on you to score. They pay you the big bucks and you have to make a difference.”
