The only Peruvian player who boasts of having Thierry Henry's shirt in his collection

In an interview with Balón Parado, La República podcast, Acasiete told why he only traded with 'Titi' Henry, former Arsenal and Barcelona attacker. “It was very special because when I played here in Peru, I was a fan of Henry and I had the opportunity to mark him when he arrived at Barcelona. “I enjoyed it very much,” he commented.

There were several Peruvian players who throughout their soccer career had the opportunity to share the field with true world soccer stars. Many of them highlighted their level of play by showering them with endless praise after the games.

One of them was Santiago Acasiete, who during his time at Almería in the First Division of Spanish football, shared the court with Thierry Henry. The French player at that time was one of the figures of Barcelona, ​​earning an extremely prodigious salary.

Santiago Acasiete mentioned that throughout his career, he never liked exchanging shirts with any player. However, when Thierry Henry approached the place where he was, he did not hesitate to do so, as he noted that he always considered him one of his idols.

Thierry Henry took off his clothing and at the edge of the playing field gave his shirt to the Peruvian player. Santiago Acasiete remembers this moment in a good way, since there are very few players who have the pleasure of having in their closet the jacket of a world football star like Thierry Henry.Santiago Acasiete is well remembered in the national sports arena, due to the work he did in the National Team and for some acts of indiscipline that framed his career.
