This Thursday evening at the Marcel-Picot stadium, it will not be players from Villefranche, Épinal or Niort. The France Espoirs team, which performs in a friendly match against Denmark (6:30 p.m.), will be represented in particular by PSG (Zaire-Emery, Barcola), Lyon (Cherki), Leipzig (Lukeba), Inter Milan (Agoume ), Chelsea (Ugochukwu, Malo Gusto), Rennes (Kalimuendo) or Lens (Wahi)… A group that weighs a few million euros on the transfer market.
And if the ASNL turns to an average of 8,000 spectators in National, about 15,000 people will attend this friendly meeting, which arouses more expectation and enthusiasm than usual… everywhere in the country! More than 50 journalists are also accredited for the event: Thierry Henry’s great first as coach. And again, there would have been many more media present if the Blues of Didier Deschamps did not also play this Thursday evening (8:45 p.m. against Ireland).
The former legend of Arsenal therefore resumes the thread of his coaching career, after his first delicate experience in Monaco and his two adventures abroad (Montreal, assistant in the selection of Belgium). Passionate about football, intelligent, gifted in communication – he has shown this in recent months as a consultant on Prime Video -, more experienced and necessarily respected by his players for having been one of the best attackers in the history of football, Thierry Henry has everything, at 46, to now have a great career as a coach.
No doubt he cherishes the hope of winning a major competition with the Bleuets, such as the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris for example. In any case, this story will have started in Nancy.
