Since his early childhood, Thierry Henry has maintained a special relationship with his father.

Antoine Henry, a former forklift driver, is none other than the father of Thierry Henry. Only a few years after his birth, this Guadeloupean wanted to make his offspring a football star. Often using the strong method.

During an interview given to the Youtube channel “The Diary Of A CEO”, the former Blues striker spoke of the complexity of the relationship with his father. “I knew that if I wanted to make my father happy, it was only with football,” explains the Frenchman. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. When I was little, my father never told me what I did well. I needed his approval, to tell me I was making progress. But he always talked to me about what I had missed, what I had done wrong. confesses the current coach of the French Hopes.

Like many top athletes, “Titi” did not escape depression during his career. “When I hear people talk about depression, it clicks with me. I’m a human being, I have feelings. During my career, I must have been depressed. Did I know it? No. Did I do anything about this? No way. But I adapted. That doesn’t mean I walk straight, but I walk. That’s what I’ve been taught since I was little.”declares the second top scorer in the history of the France team.
