Monaco still can not do it. The club, coached by Thierry Henry, lost 1-5 at home against Strasbourg on Saturday night, and still stuck in 19th place in the League 1. In a press conference, the former French international has not hidden his annoyance. He attacked the VAR directly, explaining that the video support was down on a contentious action, which could have given a penalty to Monaco.
"It's not the same match anymore." "There's a foul on Rony Lopes in the box with 1-2, and the fourth referee said, 'I'm really sorry, Mr. Henry, the VAR is not working.' There are 10,000 times on Rony Lopes, so I would like to know why the VAR did not work for Monaco, "said Thierry Henry. According to the Monegasque club coach, this failure was decisive for the outcome of the match. "There was 1-2 at that point, if we convert the penalty, there are 2-2, it's not the same match," said the former footballer, noting that his team had made efforts to return, when she was reduced to ten since the seventh minute due to Naldo's expulsion.
"The put of your grandmother". An annoyance also felt on the edge of the field and captured by the Canal + cameras. In the 43rd minute, the encrypted channel recorded a sequence in which we see the coach insult a Strasbourg defender, Kenny Lala, judging it a little too long to return the ball to the Monegasques on a touch. "Oh this is the 43rd minute, the put of your grandmother", launched Thierry Henry at the address of the young player.
"Oh it's the 43rd minute, the put ... of your grandmother"
