Paris, Oct 9 French striker Thierry Henry has asked his team-mates to give off their best performance during the World Cup qualifiers against the Faroe Islands and Austria to regain the fans' confidence.

After last month's draw in Serbia, France is dangling for a place in the 2010 World Cup, as they are four points Group Seven leaders Serbia.

"If we don't go to the World Cup, everyone will suffer. But, it's all our fault. It's up to us to give back to people the desire to believe in this team. I said before that we lacked a reference match. Even though we didn't win, the one in Serbia could be that," The Mirror quoted Henry, as saying."The way the match was leaves me thinking that this team has a spirit. This team is looking for itself, I hope it finds it," he added.

Henry also denied of any clash between coach Raymond Domenech and players.

"There was a discussion as there are in all the dressing rooms in the world. But, no one raised their voice. There was no clash.

Domenech is not part of my family. He's not my father, but he is someone humane and honest," he said. (ANI)
