The France Espoirs team faces Denmark, this Thursday, in a friendly match, for the great premiere of Thierry Henry on the Bleuets bench (6:30 p.m.). Here is all the essential information about this match.
“I’m not saying that pretending, really, but singing the Marseillaise is a source of pride. I never thought I’d sing it again with cock-striking outfits. There will be a lot of emotion. The first “Marseillaise” is always special. I remember my first in A in Lens, and my first in the French youth team in Montaigu“. Thierry Henry did not hide his emotion, Thursday, in Nancy, when he appeared at a press conference on the eve of his first match at the controls of the France Espoirs team.
Les Bleuets challenge Denmark in a friendly match. A necessarily special moment for the 1998 world champion, proud to join the federal system. “There is pressure, it’s normal, but it’s a positive pressure. When you’re a player, you like to lie about that, I can say that now that I’m no longer a player (amused). You can be under pressure but you don’t have to be afraid“. One thing is certain: this great first should provide some answers on the game project of the new Blueberries coach.
