- La Presse (@LP_LaPresse) April 28, 2020During a videoconference, Thierry Henry, the Montreal coach summed up, in comments reported by RDS and La Presse after a videoconference: “The league is working hard to have the best formula when we go back, if we resume. We have to adapt. It's not up to me, my team, the players, to say "do we agree, disagree". We will answer this, whatever the solution. Even if it means going in camera. It never happened to me, so I don't know what it is. If the league decides, we will do that. ”
"When it came out (...) I did not ask myself the question, '' Is it going to be long, is it not going to be long ''. I didn't think about it. No, no, it's the health of the world above all. ”
Thierry HenryConfined to Montreal ("I am at home, I will be attached to this city forever. You feel really small when you see all this. Football is my passion, my life, I would like it to start again but we must try to stay calm and think about what's going on. I say to myself, let's stay at home, people on the front lines do an extraordinary job for the essentials, people's health "), Thierry Henry recalls:" When it came out, I remember with the staff, we were asking ourselves questions and I said "guys, the most important thing is everyone's state of health". I did not ask myself the question, "Is it going to be long, is it not going to be long". I didn't think about it. No, no, it is the health of the world above all. When everything will reopen, it will reopen. If we have to wait again, we will wait again. At some point, you have to follow the rules. Quite simply, I said to myself. ” The truce decreed for a period of about a month has already been extended on two occasions, the last time at least until June 8.
Thierry Henry says: “What is complicated is not knowing when we are going back to the field. Our physical trainer has the biggest job right now. He sends programs to the players, tries to find out if it is respected and adapts. Whoever is a competitor, he has to train and work hard. ”
