France boss “furious” over Henry treatment
November 25, 2009
France head coach Raymond Domenech has expressed his anger over the vilification of Thierry Henry after last week’s World Cup play-off.
Henry found himself at the centre of a worldwide media storm after his deliberate handball helped knock Ireland out of World Cup contention.
And Domenech – who insists he will not resign despite calls for him to do so – has leapt to the defence of his captain.
He said: “It made me furious that Thierry can be treated in this way. I have not slept for two days and I’m just starting to get over it.
“Titi is one of the most talented players in the history of French football. For months now, despite injury, he has participated in all our matches at the risk of being yelled at by his club. His reason for living as a footballer is Les Bleus.”
