In Saint-Denis
First match in Marseille against the USA on July 24, what does that inspire you?
Thierry Henry:
Obviously the first match of the 1998 World Cup against South Africa.
Afterwards, if we come back to the draw, we couldn't wait to know who we were going to play against to move forward with our work.
We play the United States on Monday (
in a friendly
), we are still missing a team, but we can move forward with something concrete.
Knowing my assistants, I already know that they have started working.
President Diallo announced that you were aiming for gold at the Olympics…
I said visualizing gold.
It's different.
I'm here, I'm watching, but it's a long way.
We visualize gold.
We'll see if we can do it, but we have to plan for something.
Are we already planning on a quarter-final against Argentina or Morocco?
I'm not there yet.
Really, I'm sorry, but I'm not here.
There is a team missing in the group, we will have a big fight.
Karim Benzema has applied for day with you this summer. This was validated by Philippe Diallo. What do you think ?
He's not the only one and I don't want to talk about names.
I didn't say anything about anyone, the door is open for everyone, even Papin and Cantona.
Is it a shame that there is a Euro before the Olympics?
It's always like that.
I am not complaining.
We will have to manage it and have the best possible team with our constraints.
The clubs will decide, even if we will try to discuss.
There still needs to be an appointment.
