Tweety in heaven. Thierry Henry’s smile on Bradley Barcola’s second goal, scorer of a double against Slovenia, sums up quite well the beginnings of the new coach of the French youth team. Victorious 4-0 over the Slovenians in Pool D of the Euro 2025 qualifiers, the Bleuets were everywhere, particularly offensively through the trio Gusto, Cherki, Barcola.
The neo-Parisian, author of a double and an assist, was decisive in the thunderous transition game of the French hopes. Whether passing, kicking the ball or going deep, the winger showed off his versatility to torment the Slovenian defense. Malo Gusto, for his part, shone with his excesses and his quality as a center. Finally, and despite a slight lack of realism, Cherki had fun dribbling and combining in small spaces.
Perfect debut for Henry
And if it is necessary to note some defensive errors, the immense Remains will always be there to ensure a clean sheet flattering. Thierry Henry can in any case take a breather: with two big victories and eight goals in two matches, his debut at the head of the French Espoirs team, highly anticipated and scrutinized after his failure in Monaco, is a success.
