While Claude Puel is going through a delicate period, Thierry Henry defends the manager of ASSE, in great difficulty since the start of the season.

Thierry Henry is stepping up to the plate for Claude Puel
“This that Claude Puel lives in Saint-Étienne, people do not care. The pressure on a coach is terrible. From the supporter, the management, the players and their egos… I'm not looking for an excuse – the guy who gets up at 6 o'clock to work is the real pressure – it's just to say that I don't never walked into a coach's office to ask how he was doing. Player, I wanted to know what he was going to bring me and what he was going to bring to the team, basta (…) It's hard to be a coach, you are very lonely. Coach, it takes time. The former coaches who were able to build at the time could not have done it now: you have to win immediately. When you arrive in a place where you inherit something, it takes time, ”he said in the JDD.
