France captain Lloris: Henry faces difficult night
Posted Tuesday, July 10, 2018 by Tribalfootball.com
Tottenham's France captain Hugo Lloris believes Thierry Henry is facing an emotional rollercoaster tomorrow night.
The Les Bleus legend goes into Tuesday's World Cup semi-final helping to plot the downfall of his own country.
A win for employers Belgium, and he will celebrate his contribution to that nation's first-ever major tournament final. But it would also plunge the very French fans he thrilled 20 years ago into a despair for which they may never forgive him.
"His heart will be split," said Lloris, the France captain. "Before anything, he is French. He has been a great player.
"He has scored the most goals, second in caps. He left a mark on the history of the Les Bleus. He has a lot of passion for football inside him."
