Henry praised Raphael Wicky’s fire crew at a press conference this week

“Look, I’ve been impressed recently with the way they play,” said Henry “They’ve been unlucky in some games They’re trying to play from behind, they’re trying to put pressure, they’ve got an idea , that’s how I like to see the match play out « 

For his part, Wicky also praised Henry’s Impact Even with Montreal at a low point in their season, Wicky knows his men have to play smart or they will be punished

“I see a team that has a style, an identity,” said Wicky “They are a team that is clearly geared towards possession, who always want to build from behind and have clear movements on the way she wants to start her build and start her action in the game, and she has a good individual quality that can hurt you So that’s what I see, so we’ll prepare for it « 

As a result of this match, the Fire will be without a few key players going on an international mission – Gastón Giménez, who changes once to play for Paraguay, and Miguel Navarro, who was called up for his native Venezuela The two men will have to quarantine themselves for 10 days after their return, so they will be away from the fire for almost a month

Some good news: Fire defender Johan Kappelhof is left out of injury report, and Wicky has indicated he’s advancing slowly but surely, so he should be available to help the team soon, maybe even tonight
