Thierry Henry, the big surprise!

2024-09-21 05:04:34

Thierry Henry is making his return to Ligue 1. Not on the bench, but as a guest in a promotional video for the championship that has gone viral.

Thierry Henry is still a master of the counterattack. While he was expected to sit on a new bench after leaving his position as coach of the French U21 team at the end of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, a silver medal around his neck, the former Blues striker finally returned to the CBS Sports channel, where he works as a consultant during Champions League evenings.

But “Titi” made another notable appearance, once again where he was not expected: in the latest promotional video for Ligue 1. Determined to improve the image of the championship, particularly abroad, the LFP broadcast a spot this week, entitled We Will Show Youin which an English fan is kidnapped by supporters from France, who introduce him to the “French football”from Marseille to Paris via Lille and Lyon.

Thierry Henry as an airplane pilot!

The young Briton ended this tour of France of elite clubs by jumping out of a plane over Monaco. A cuckoo piloted by… Thierry Henry himself. The video, already viewed nearly 4 million times on X (formerly Twitter), is part of the new communication strategy of the Professional Football League, which seeks to capture the attention of a younger audience. A vast reconquest operation after the hiccup of the TV rights attributed to DAZN.
