HENRY INSPIRES ME

BELGIUM are feeding from the World Cup experience of Thierry Henry and crediting the former France crack with an inspirational role.

The 1998 World Cup-winner, (left) who played in four finals, is one of boss Roberto Martinez’s assistants in what is his first coach role since the end of his career in 2014.

“Thierry Henry gives me a lot of advice and lets me grow as a player”, said Michy Batshuay, ahead of Belgium’s opener against Panama.
