Presented to the press on Tuesday as coach of the France Espoirs team, Thierry Henry was asked about his future relationship with Didier Deschamps. He was very clear.
A few days after the French Football Federation decided to appoint him coach of the Espoirs in place of Sylvain Ripoll, Thierry Henry was present on Tuesday in front of the press to address the main lines of its new mission. With the main objectives of qualifying for Euro 2025 and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Thierry Henry will also have to deal with some constraints, particularly in connection with the France A team. The former glory of Arsenal has rightly been asked about her future relationship with Didier Deschamps.
And for once, Thierry Henry was very clear. ” It’s very simple, whatever ‘DD’ says, I’ll say yeshe said with a smirk. It’s simple. He’s the boss. If he needs to come and get a player in Espoirs, I can only say yes. And we are still there for the France A team. So there you go, there will be discussions of course, there are discussions before the lists, but we must not miss each other. As I often say ‘stay in your place’. ‘DD’ is the boss and it will be done normally, in the rules of the art.”
The style in question
As for knowing if he intended to be inspired by the style of play advocated in the A by Didier Deschamps, Thierry Henry, again, said the bottom of his thought. ” I haven’t sat down with ‘DD’ to (have) this kind of discussion yet. But it will be quite fast and I will be able to guide you on (the subject) quite quickly. “The link will therefore be clear, as will the respect for the hierarchy between the two men and the two selections.
