A slightly tetchy Thierry Henry today clarified his comments following the 0-1 defeat to the the New England Revolution in Montreal’s MLS-is-Back opener.
While he did not withdraw his comments around lack of fighting spirit against the New Englanders, he did say he had been speaking specifically about that game and not as a general characteristic of his team.
“The fighting spirit was not in the game that day, but we are a team that will always fight. If you’ve watched all of our games since the start of the season, we’re fighting.
“Since the start of this season, we have always had this fighting spirit, but we did not have it on this match and I hope it is just a small problem.
