Henry, the declaration of love at the Parc des Princes!

The French Olympic team is just one match away from the Holy Grail! This Friday evening, Thierry Henry and his men face Spain in the final of the Olympic Games on the Parc des Princes pitch.

A historic final for the Bleuets in a legendary venue. Present at a press conference this Thursday, Olympic coach Thierry Henry spoke about the upcoming match against the Spanish but above all declared his love for the Parc des Princes.

” Yes, I am a suburbanite, yes, I am from Les Ulis, but the Parc is Safet Susic, it is Francesco at Matra, it is George Weah, it is Lama’s recovery on Ginola’s chest, his inside control of the foot to set off again and follow the line. It is Borelli who kisses the lawn, it is the Parc!

Before continuing: “ There’s everything, it’s 84. I’m not going to say the bad times but the Parc is the Parc. It’s leaving my house every weekend when we were lucky enough to have two big teams in the city. It’s the Real match, well I don’t know… I’m getting a bit carried away here, but whatever happens, being part of the history of this legendary stadium is fabulous. It’s also Zlatan, it’s Kylian, Cavani, Pauleta, it’s Dahleb and I’m forgetting some… I think you get the idea. Damn, I forgot Raï and Valdo.”
