The coach of the French Olympic team approached the Bleuets’ second match against Guinea with great determination.
After a rather flattering first success against the United States (3-0), Thierry Henry’s French Olympic team continues its group stage with a new match against Guinea, this Saturday, in Nice. A match that should generate a logical rotation to give the organisms a breather.
“We’ll see. Playing every three days is never easy, explained Thierry Henry. Especially at the beginning of the season, because you don’t start playing every three days. There is a group that is there for that and that must lead us to victory. We always try to qualify as quickly as possible but for the moment we are thinking about whether there will be rotations in our team. And then it’s hot. We have to see how the guys are.
“Something to refine”
The coach of the Blues recognizes that his team still has a lot of room for improvement. “There are things to refine. The Americans played very deep, well grouped, unlike what they had proposed in the friendly match in March (2-2), in Sochaux. It was a work of undermining, like a boxer can do: from time to time, you have to strike before it opens up. They had chances too.”
” We are working (on the systems) and maybe there will be something new. I don’t know. When you are at home, you have to set the tone for the matches. We have to take the initiative.” concluded Thierry Henry.
