Thierry Henry didn’t shine as a coach at Monaco and the MLS club Montreal, but it’s widely known that managerial roles are entirely different. A huge number of French football fans are pinning high hopes on one of the best strikers in the world in the first decade of the 21st century, as he will lead the French national team at the Olympic Games in Paris at the end of July and the beginning of August this year. One of the biggest desires of the former lethal goal-scorer is to assemble one of the most powerful teams ever seen at the Olympic Games, and he wants to use the right to include three players older than 23 by including Kylian Mbappé, Olivier Giroud, and Antoine Griezmann. What appears to be a significant hurdle in realizing Henry’s vision at first glance is Mbappé’s anticipated move to Real Madrid and the reluctance of the Madrid side to temporarily part ways with him immediately after signing the highly anticipated reinforcement, making him available for the national team.Mbappe sues French influencer over kebab commercialJudging by Thierry’s words, he is ready to fight for his idea until the end, create a beautiful story with the Olympic team, and make Real Madrid more flexible.”The thing with Real Madrid? Can I imagine it? You know, I never stopped at the first ‘no.’ We will try to talk to them, hoping that Real will accept us” he admitted.Henry praises PSG kid: “Sky is limit, I’ve never seen player like him”Henry is aware that he cannot start an open war with Real Madrid because the law obliges clubs to adhere to FIFA competitions and official match dates for national teams, but the Olympic Games do not fall into that category.”It won’t be easy, but we don’t want to be defeatist. After all, they are clubs. We actually still don’t know where will Mbappe play. We know he will leave; actually, we’ll see what happens” said Henry sarcastically.Henry knows why Real sold United’s flops Varane and CasemiroThe French media claim that Henry’s desire for next June is clear: to gather all the best French players under 23 plus three bonuses in the form of Kylian Mbappé, Olivier Giroud (Milan), and Antoine Griezmann (Paris Saint-Germain). As for players under 23, among the most prominent names expected to participate in the Olympic Games are Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni (Real Madrid), Mathys Tel (Bayern Munich), William Saliba (Arsenal), Malo Gusto, Wesley Fofana (Chelsea), Warren Zaire Emeri, Bradley Barcola (Paris Saint-Germain), Castello Lukeba (RB Leipzig), Rayan Cherki (Olympique Lyon), Elye Wahi (Lens), Arno Kalimuendo (Rennes)… France has won two medals at the Olympic Games so far. Firstly, they won silver in Paris in 1900, and their only gold was embraced in 1984 in Los Angeles. Henry’s team expects two preparatory matches, first against Ivory Coast on March 22nd, and then against the United States on March 25th.##NAJAVA_MECA_7968448##
