Thierry Henry will remember his first on the bench of the France Espoirs team. This Thursday, Les Bleuets won with a score of 4 goals to 1 against Denmark. Elye Wahi scored twice, Rayan Cherki and Johann Lepenant offered victory to their team.
If he did not put his name on the scoreboard, the young Parisian Warren Zaire-Emery distinguished himself. Clean, disciplined and tactically valuable, the new captain of Les Bleuets has moved into a new dimension since the start of the season.
After the meeting, Thierry Henry spoke about his player and his choice to have him named new captain of the selection. “I chose Warren Zaire-Emery to find out if he was ready. On the pitch he was, but I wanted to see him in the locker room. We got a lot of answers We know very well what he has in his feet, we wanted to see how it was in his head. »
The Parisian number 8 also reacted to this appointment during a post-match intervention at the microphone of the L’Équipe channel. “I am really very happy to be the captain of the France Espoirs team. The coach came to talk to me, and he told me what he expected of me. I told him that was fine with me. It’s something good that will also allow me to open up because I do so very little. I will try to be the best captain possible. »
