After the stormy end of the match between France and Argentina, Thierry Henry could not digest the “useless” red card received by Enzo Millot.
This is the big mistake of the evening. At the end of a tough, tense match, the French team invited itself into the last four of the Olympic Games after this success against Argentina (1-0) in Bordeaux. The Blues are thus getting closer to the medal, they who will face Egypt in the semi-final.
Thierry Henry is quick to praise the state of mind of his group, which “lives well” for a month, but the coach of this Olympic team could not let this red card received by Enzo Millot after the final whistle go. The Stuttgart player was sanctioned, because he is clearly the one held responsible for the scuffle at the end of the match.
Henry is not happy
” I was just told that Enzo Millot got a red card, we’ll see if it’s deserved, Henry had commented on France 3. I don’t like this kind of thing. It wasn’t necessary. No, it doesn’t ruin the qualification but it’s useless, I’m really not happy about it.” In the process, “Titi” added another layer to the microphone of France Info: “It puts the group in a difficult position, it blocks a reservist, I’m not happy.”
These Olympic Games are in fact played with groups of 18 players, quite restricted. The selectors have the possibility of calling on a reserve player, in case of injury, but this is not the case for a suspension. And this will deprive Thierry Henry of an option for the semi-final, or even the final, depending on the length of the suspension imposed on Millot.
