This Thursday, Thierry Henry and his staff, including Gérald Baticle, Gaël Clichy and Jérémie Janot, will try to get their bearings four days before the start of qualifying for Euro 2025 (travel to Slovenia on Monday at 6 p.m.).

This baptism will be followed closely. After two mixed experiences at AS Monaco and Impact Montreal, Thierry Henry is tackling a very exposed project. With the 2024 Olympics in Paris in sight. From his game plan, the former glory of Arsenal let slip only two words, “possession, pressing”, during his presentation, and there was not enough time for a bet anyway. in a clear strategic position.
But the announcement of his first list revealed a strong choice: no player born in 2001 is included, not even those who played the Euro this year, when Sylvain Ripoll was still coach. The titular goalkeeper of Lille Lucas Chevalier, brilliant during the last European tournament, was therefore not retained.
The 2001 vintage can however participate in the Olympic tournament, the stated objective of the French Football Federation, which wants a medal. But if Henry “understands the enthusiasm”, he prefers above all to think of the qualification campaign for Euro 2025. “I am thinking of Denmark, to find a coherent team, which can also be coherent against the Slovenia. »
Strikers Rayan Cherki, Bradley Barcola, Arnaud Kalimuendo and Elye Wahi are among the few players recalled since the change of coach, and are called upon to carry the offensive waves of the Espoirs. In midfield, the nugget Warren Zaire-Emery, holder at only 17 years old in the midfield of Paris Saint-Germain, will also be scrutinized at the Marcel Picot stadium.
