LE SCAN SPORT – Present with Belgium in Dublin, the former French striker was whistled by the Irish public who did not forgive him for his hand in the box bringing the goal qualifying the Blues for the 2010 World Cup.
Thierry Henry has left Irish supporters with very bad memories. Thirteen years after the goal scored by William Gallas thanks to the hand in the surface of the French striker, the local public gave a cold welcome to the assistant of Roberto Martinez, the coach of Belgium.
Henri, who allowed the Blues to qualify for the World Cup to the detriment of the Irish by being at the origin of the equalizer (1-1 after 1-0 in favor of France in the first leg), was copiously whistled appearing on a giant screen.
It was even a real bronca that accompanied the broadcast of the images of the Belgian bench after twenty-four minutes of play at the Aviva Stadium. The former AS Monaco coach did not react to the whistles, appearing unfazed and focused on the pitch. Belgium went to win a draw (2-2) in Dublin.
