Thierry Henry: “RC Lens is football that speaks to me, contagious football”

Monaco-RC Lens this Saturday was followed by a luxury observer (0-2, 3rd day of Ligue 1). 1998 world champion, former striker Thierry Henry made his debut as a consultant for Prime Video, the broadcaster of the meeting.

At the end of this 2-0 victory of RCL On the Rock, the former Arsenal and Barcelona striker showered the manager with praise Sang et Or, Franck Haise : « I’ve been a fan, a fan for a little while, of philosophy, of cohesion, of aggression in a good sense. The positioning of Clauss, from Machado when he tries to get the ball out from behind. Take the middle 2 individually while waiting for him to make the mistake to be able to jump. On the sides, they know very well that they can go high because there are the central ones that cover behind. I also liked the fact that they are not afraid to go head-to-head. I see a team like Lens who came up last season and who come to Monaco to play. It’s football that speaks to me, contagious football. I wanted to go jump with you after the goal. When you see a bench like that, the guys are happy, it dances on the goals, it’s envy. When people talk to me about defense at 5, it’s a defense at 3, it allows to send the full-backs to look for the other full-backs. It’s not a five-a-side defense. When it’s done well, it’s well done. »
