When he was inducted into the position of coach of the France Espoirs team, Thierry Henry was questioned about his relations with Didier Deschamps. To this question, the 98 world champion said: “It’s Didier who decides”. A way to let it be known that he will give priority to the A’s. But this season, there will be the Euro and then the Olympic Games in France. Will Henry have his hands free to compose the team he wants, even if a few A’s will have potentially participated in the Euro a few weeks earlier? DD replied.
“We saw each other for a long time, we talked. I exchanged several times with Titi. He has his area of decision with his generation. (…) You are in a fantasy. I am very realistic. What is important for me and the France team is to ensure our qualification for the Euro and for Titi and his staff it is the Euro Espoirs. Obviously, there will be the Olympics which will be important. That players who are with me may be affected, it is possible. Afterwards, it’s not me, it’s not Thierry, nor President Diallo who will decide, it’s the club presidents. The objective is to have the best team at the Olympics and not the masquerade of the last time. French clubs will be more understanding in relation to the 2024 Olympics, I don’t know why, I sense it.”he said at a press conference.
