The coach of the French Olympic team is not only interested in football. Like everyone else, he was left speechless by the exploits of Léon Marchand.
Friday evening, at 9 p.m., the French Olympic team will face Argentina in Bordeaux, in the quarter-finals of the
JO 2024. On the eve of this meeting, Thierry Henry appeared at a press conference. Inevitably, the Bleuets coach was questioned about
the controversy of racist chants.
“There is a match to prepare personally as a coach. I will not talk about that,” The 1998 world champion initially responded, before being asked about it again. “There is a desire to only talk about the match. It’s important.”insisted the former AS Monaco coach, in order to close the debate.

On the other hand, Thierry Henry was much more talkative about the exploits of Léon Marchand. “We’re talking about a monster, a young monster, he stressed. It could be something really extraordinary, and it already is. Yesterday we watched it with everyone. The whole country vibrated and it’s a logical reward. I followed his preparation from afar and at some point the work pays off. In swimming, guys spend their lives in the pool. We were happy, it’s just normal. We’re here to represent the team well.”
On Wednesday night, the 22-year-old swimmer won the Olympic final of the 200-meter butterfly and then the 200-meter breaststroke within two hours of each other. Three days earlier, he won the gold medal in the 400-meter medley, breaking the Olympic record.
