"Monaco" goalkeeper Alexandras Golovinas did not speak to the press about former team strategist Thierry Henry, who led the club in "Ligue 1" for only 104 days in the middle of this season before being fired.
According to the Russian, the legendary "Arsenal" footballer failed to fully embrace the role of coach.
"Perhaps he had not completely lost the player in himself yet. When things didn't go well during training, Henry quickly got angry and yelled a lot. Probably it wasn't always necessary.
Thierry was a very good footballer and perhaps only the students R.Falcao or C.Fabregas had reached a similar level. He would go onto the field and, by shouting, show how everything should be done.
Another coach would probably have encouraged us to work together towards the goal, but T. Henry was always very nervous and would run onto the field to show how everything should be done.
He would yell and demand to take the ball away from him. The players usually remained calm, but were somewhat shocked.
Sometimes it happened that the offended coach would not speak to us and would analyze tactics for hours on end in isolation", - said A. Golovinas.
"When L. Jardim returned, positivity reappeared during training".
