The French junior team begins its Euro qualifying journey this Monday. A first real test for Thierry Henry.
The Thierry Henry era started very well for the French hopefuls selection, but the start of serious things is this Monday with the away opposition against Slovenia. In Ljubljana, we await confirmation of the great friendly victory against Denmark (4-1).
The Bleuets must confirm
Henry’s goal is the Olympic Games next year, and he expressed it loud and clear during his last interview for Téléfoot. A great ambition, but which should go hand in hand with the desire to reach the European Championship in the category. And for that, it is worth launching the adventure in the best possible way. That is to say with success against one of the competitors for qualification.
With a particularly talented generation, France has no right to miss out. His coach knows it and the players do too. There have been many dashed hopes in the past, and this time it is time to live up to expectations. The impetuous Rayan Cherki is the one who best symbolizes this team, both carefree and particularly gifted.
The Bleuets are therefore hard at work. It’s up to them not to disappoint and show during this outing on Slovenian soil that they have the ability to shine and imitate the elders of the A, authors of a faultless performance in the European Championship qualifiers.
The probable teams of Slovenia Espoirs – France Espoirs
