The party was total. Tears, smiles, hinds and class gestures at the height of the talent present on the perfect lawn of Father-Deschamps. The jubilee of Djibril Cissé took place in an exceptional atmosphere on Tuesday evening.

And for the occasion, the former French international had put the small dishes in the big ones. In addition to bringing all his ex-co-teams together from the great Auxerroises, “the Djib” had invited some of the biggest names in the history of football. In the Cissé All-Stars team thus appeared a certain Thierry Henry, aligned alongside Didier Drogba and Robert Pirès.

Thierry Henry wanted to be present for his friend Djibril Cissé.

The least we can say is that all these large goleadors have beautiful remains. While Djibril Cissé shone by offering himself a double and a decisive pass, Thierry Henry launched the show by scoring a sublime goal, in his pure style, of a direct free kick rolled from the right foot.

Thierry Henry thanks the Auxerrois public

A gesture that has been hailed as it should be by an Auxerrois audience renowned for his knowledge of the game. Appreciated in Burgundy, Thierry Henry received a standing ovation at the time of his release. And that obviously did not leave him insensitive.

“Frankly, I didn't expect it”he explained at the microphone of the team. “Thank you to the Auxerrois public for that and for Djibril, it's heart -warmed. But we are not there for me. Djib is a big guy, with character and honest. That's all he represents. The person he has been and that he is still at present. »Strong remarks for an unforgettable evening.
