Despite the disappointment, the French coach was keen to emphasise the pride he felt for his players, who had a solid Olympic run.
After a finale full of twists and turns,
The French Olympic team lost to Spain (3-5) in overtime this Friday at the Parc des Princes. Nevertheless, the Bleuets can be proud. Thierry Henry’s men, authors of a very good run, offered a silver medal to the French delegation.
A competitor at heart, the French coach, who hoped to win gold, praised the self-denial and mental strength of his players throughout the match. Despite the defeat, the 98 world champion does not blame his team for anything and says he is very satisfied with the progress made.
Henry’s Strong Words
“We fought until the end. This team has always fought. The last goal, we can understand it. We had moments of uncertainty for 20 minutes that cost us dearly (after the opening goal, editor’s note). Same thing, the 4th goal, a moment of inattention… But hey, it was a crazy final in the end.”confided the native of Les Ulis to the microphone of France 2.
“We still have medals. Unfortunately, not Olympic champions, but I think we can’t say anything to this team. (…) For the moment, I’m having trouble realizing it, but it’s still a great story.”judged Thierry Henry.
