The French icon has been able to redeem his side through four victories including a record-breaking 9-0 win against Cyprus U21.<\/p>\n
However, their winning run was brought to a halt when they lost 2-0 to Austria U21 and on Monday night faced a 3-0 defeat to South Korea. <\/p>\n Henry said after the game: \u201cThe result is horrible.\u00a0I told the guys that we were taught a lesson in fighting spirit against Austria.<\/p>\n "And here\u00a0against South Korea,\u00a0we have received a lesson in realism.\u201d<\/p>\n Les Bleuets\u2019\u00a0downturn has coincided with Warren Za\u00efre-Emery\u2019s departure from the squad.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n In his debut, he scored in Didier Deschamps' side's historic 14-0 win against Gibraltar.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the biggest challenge for Henry is coaching his side at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics.<\/p>\n With no goals scored during the international break and five goals conceded Henry will need to revamp his current squad if they are to stand a chance at the Olympics next year.<\/p>\n And the ex-Monaco boss has responded that he will be picking more senior players in the coming fixtures.<\/p>\n Henry told L'Equipe: "There will be the 2001s\u00a0in March\u2019s international break.\u00a0We\u2019ll certainly have a different XI.<\/p>\n "Just like we\u2019ll have a different XI for the Olympic Games.
