Waters are anything but calm in the French camp. Henry has something to say against his younger teammate, something I strongly disagree with: you cannot take on a younger player because he missed a shot. I love Henry, I think he is the greatest striker in the World, but you have to score yourself first, before jumping on another player.

Ribery, starting a match for France for the first time, moved past Swiss defender Philippe Senderos down the right to feed Henry in the area but his pass was not accurate enough and meant the Arsenal forward needed to control the ball before shooting.

“Franck placed the ball behind me instead of placing it in front of me,” Henry told reporters at France’s training camp.

“If he had placed it in front me I could have pushed it inside an empty goal without controlling it and that would have been a goal. That’s how close we came to scoring.”

“He is young and it was not easy for him,” Henry said of Ribery’s performance. “He brought us what he could and some of it was good.”

Henry himself was a huge disappointment for the French fans, looking only a shadow of the player he is at Arsenal.

“I have no regrets,” he said. “I kept trying to put myself in a position to score and there were no one-on-one situations. You have regrets when you miss those.”

Again… Henry made the worng move. Now, Ribery will lack courage and he might not help his team at all.
