To this day, Thierry Henry is remembered as one of the greatest soccer players in the world. However, beyond achieving glory during his playing career, INF Clairefontaine Academy played an important role in bringing him to this moment. The France legend has spoken about the tough life in his academy days, which has also produced another world-class player like Kylian Mbappe.
It is said in France that if you get through INF Clairefontaine, you will certainly make a mark in your soccer career. But to be successful in the elite academy is very tough. Speaking about his experience, Thierry Henry said, “It is a preschool pre-formation, you have to pass for one weekend you come they take the best 20 then they do the same in around not far from Paris. Then the weekend after that you have the 20 from that place 20. From that place only from Paris, you bring it down to 40. You bring that to 20. And eventually, obviously, the 20 goes to that school of Clairefontaine to teach you how to play football. You go to school from, by the way, eight to three after that you play football.”
