The coach of the Espoirs tricolores got a little old on Thursday evening.

Thierry Henry is not experiencing crisis in his role as coach of the France Espoirs team. Since his arrival at the helm last August, the Bleuets have scored four masterful victories in four outings – with the ultimate ambition of shining at the Paris Olympic Games next year.

Today fulfilled in his role as coach, Thierry Henry also and above all remains a legend of the Blues and the Gunners. A great player who this Thursday evening lost one of the records he could be proud of. The fault lies with Liverpool, tormentor of Toulouse in the Europa League (5-1), and with a certain Mohamed Salah.

Last scorer for the Reds against TFC in added time, the Egyptian striker scored his 43rde goal in the European Cup. No player playing in the Premier League has ever done better. Until then, the Pharaoh shared this reference with the 98 world champion, author in his time of 42 achievements on a continental scale in the Arsenal jersey.
