Thierry Henry, whose Monaco team exploded against Bruges (0-4) Tuesday night at home in the Champions League, spoke of the "school mistakes" and his "worry": "at this moment, I say to myself that the worst is possible. "
What to say after such a slap?
The score does not reflect the game's physiognomy. But in Europe, when you dominate, you have to mark your chances. If you do not punish, we'll punish you. They mark on the first time they go out. In addition, mistakes are made on each goal. We punished ourselves while the start was good, nothing to do with Reims. Unfortunately, every time something goes wrong, we give up. This is my concern.
It takes three goals in 12 minutes, it was a blow. We are already not very well, we try to reassure ourselves. And that put even more doubt. I also remember that we lost Kamil (Glik). There are 12 wounded, I think ... I do not count anymore. But we must find positive in the very negative. Like the entrance to Massengo. Diop was good, Sylla moved a lot. And we created opportunities.
Are not you helpless?
Not at all. I brought in the players to change. We created opportunities. We had problems in Bruges at the entrance, before making mistakes in school. The group is mentally touched and Paris arrives. We must try to find the right path.
We will now focus on the championship. I hope we find the solution to stop Paris. Even if we can say that these are not the points to go, you never know ... But at this moment, I tell myself that the worst is possible. It's always worse. You lose, you do not score. They score on every occasion. You lose another player.
What is your message now?
My message is very simple. Against Reims, he was much harder, because we did not play and respected what was to be done. Tonight, I can not say that. Now, we must try to move forward. If young people can bring something, they will play. Let's be honest, there are not many players available. But I wanted to see what the kids had in their stomachs. This is not always the best time to return.
I started with a 0-2 against Nice at Louis-II. Nobody remembers it. Sometimes you have to know the level of some. Massengo is well entered. We are looking for players who are going to have the desire, who will run, who are a little careless. When Massengo returns, he wants, wants to show, without fear. But as long as you do not reassure yourself, it will be difficult. We must help the players, even if they too must return to a better level.
