Henry Reacts to Worst Winless Run In Monaco’s History

3 Min Read

Thierry Henry’s start to life as Monaco coach hasn’t been easy going. He is yet to record his first victory for the Principaloty club.

Speaking after his team drew against Dijon, the Frenchman is choosing to look at the positives rather than the negatives.

Even though the winless run (10 games) represents the worst in Monaco’s history, Henry wants to look at the good parts of the performance.

“The situation is complicated, yes,” Henry told a news conference.

“Three weeks ago, we could have lost that game too. We reacted. It is also positive. But there are times that we do not manage well.

“We reframed things at half-time. At 2-1, we started to understand that we had to push.

“I have to stay positive in the negative, even if we lost [Nacer] Chadli in the warm-up. We did not lose in Bruges, nor today.”

Monaco’s vice-president Vadim Vasilyev said that the club are in a relegation fight now

“It is not enough. Especially what I saw in the first 60 minutes. We are in danger,” he told reporters.

“It is not because the club is called Monaco that we will get out of this situation. It is through the awareness of the seriousness of this situation, individual but also collective, and a reaction is needed, through the work and the state of mind.

“I am aware of the situation. We work in good conditions. We are all very well paid and we are all here because we want to move this club forward.

“I ask everyone – not just the players present [on the pitch], but the whole group – to be aware of the seriousness of the situation and make every effort to improve.

“We will rely on players who have the desire and pride to wear the red and white colours. This is not our place, we have no excuses. This club deserves a lot better and it is our duty to improve for the club.”
