Chapter 114 Thierry Henry

Chapter 114 Thierry Henry

The game had just started, and Arsenal's goal was almost broken, which surprised Wenger. In this game, he won Flamini in the midfield and sent Ljungberg. Unexpectedly, the creativity on the field has become the team's shortcoming. Although Gilberto Silva is in charge, the interception power is still too weak, and Milan's quick counterattack penetrated in the blink of an eye.

Wenger hurried to the sidelines, pulled Pires back, and told the team to slow down their offensive rhythm and play two more flanks. Milan took the opportunity to counterattack when they lost the ball in the middle. Too dangerous.

Henry, who lost the ball just now, also breathed a sigh of relief. If Lehman hadn't played well just now, he would have become the team's big sinner.

Henry is no stranger to Milan. After all, he also had a period of experience playing in the Italian league. Of course, Henry absolutely does not want to recall that experience.

In the UEFA Champions League in the 1997/1998 season, Henry shined in the two Champions League knockout matches against Leverkusen, especially in the first round of the contest between the two sides. Henry scored two goals and helped Monaco beat the opponent 4:0 In the second round of the same year, Henry scored another goal, and Monaco won a 2:2 away draw.

The two games made the eyes of the scouts sent by Juventus brighten. They were originally sent to inspect Butters, but in the inspection report they submitted to the club, Henry was repeatedly mentioned, praising his speed, Technical and cool. Juventus, which has never liked to acquire newcomers, was moved, but general manager Moggi said to wait.

While waiting, he saw that on October 11, 1997, Henry played for the French team for the first time. In that game, France defeated South Africa 2:1. While waiting, he saw that Henry scored 3 goals on behalf of France in the 1998 World Cup , won the Hercules Cup; Moggi couldn't wait, especially when Zidane kept whispering in his ear that Henry was the best left-sided player in France.

In the summer of 1998, Moggi's acquisition did not work out because Henry was injured, but he negotiated everything with the Monaco at the negotiating table.

In December 1998, when the winter transfer market opened, Henry finally arrived at Juventus, with his big brother Zidane. It's a pity that after Henry joined Juventus, he was mostly assigned to the winger position. At the age of 20, he failed to adapt to Italy's tight defense for a while, and played 16 games in the league. Only scored 3 goals, ending an unsatisfactory season.

After that season, Henry moved to Arsenal, and finally became one of the most powerful strikers in world football step by step in the Arsenal.

However, the handling of the ball just now was obviously out of standard, and Maldini actually intercepted the ball so easily. If it was normal, Henry would never make such a mistake.

He's nervous!

That's right! Henry is nervous!

There are too many things on Henry's shoulders. Henry, who had no ambitions at Juventus, came to Highbury. His mentor Wenger in Monaco once again acted as his guide. 14 The number jersey has since been accompanied by a passionate period in Henry's career.

Come to London, where the iconic Big Ben reminds people that it has entered Henry time. Four days after the transfer to the Gunners, Henry came off the bench against Leicester City. This is his first appearance for Arsenal.

However, in his first 7 league games, Henry's first goal was delayed, and fans who had hoped that he could replace Anelka began to become suspicious. But Wenger still trusted him, thinking that he had the ability to become a better Gunners striker than Anelka, and it was obvious that Wenger was right.

On September 18, 1999, in the eighth round match between Arsenal and Southampton in the Premier League, Henry finally opened his scoring account, and a generation of legends began.

Henry's first goal at Highbury was in the game against Derby County. His two brilliant goals helped the lagging Gunners to reverse and win. At that time, Henry was running on the pitch almost crazily, accepting the Gunners The cheers of the fans and the long-suppressed passion were fully reflected in the young man who was only 22 years old at the time. Henry later described his feelings at that time as if he had returned to the happiest student days.

In the 1999/2000 season, Henry's first season, he scored a total of 18 goals, ushered in a perfect explosion in the case of a bad start, and the first serve was unstoppable. Even his scoring methods are the most diverse, long-distance attack, left foot, right foot, and even header, which is generally considered to be his least good at. The only regret is that Henry did not win a trophy this season, especially in the UEFA Cup final where Arsenal lost to Galatasaray on penalties. Henry rubbed shoulders with his first trophy And pass.

In the second season, with the title of European Cup champion, Henry has become more confident. He has said many times that he has liked the style of the Premier League, which is tough, fast and technical.

Sufficient adaptation to the Premier League enables Henry's striker style to be fully displayed, and his imaginative football has also brought a new and unique style to the Premier League.

In October 2000, in the game against Manchester United, Henry scored an incredible goal. The scene of him congratulating on the phone with his masseuse has also become a classic picture of the Premier League.

Henry himself explained: "I haven't scored in 6 games. Before the game, I bet with the masseuse that I will definitely score in this game. How about it, I did it!"

Henry announced the return of the king with such a spectacular scene, but Henry, who has performed better and better in the first two seasons of coming to the Premier League, has never been able to win the trophy.

In the FA Cup final of the 2000/2001 season, Henry missed the chance to score. At that time, he could only watch Irving, who was about the same age, score the goal and reach the pinnacle of the five-time crown, but he himself could only fall to the ground in pain.

However, the excellent performance in the two seasons at Highbury also made Henry quickly named Highbury Express.

This is an extremely appropriate name. Henry's speed is indeed his lethal weapon in dealing with opponents. At the same time, his comprehensive skills and free kick skills also make him score more than ordinary pure players. .

The third season has begun, and Henry is at the top. There is a game that must be remembered. This is the story that happened on November 25, 2001. On that rainy night in London, Manchester United, the three-time champion of the Premier League, lost their footsteps. Barthez passed the ball to Henry's feet, and Henry relaxed Goal, look back, this classic celebration left his friend Barthez in painful memory.

Highbury in the heavy rain was excited. This was Henry's victory over Barthez, and it was also Arsenal's victory over the Premier League overlord Manchester United.

A few minutes later, Barthez presented another big gift, and Henry accepted it again with a smile. Arsenal defeated Manchester United 3:1, taking the initiative to win the Premier League title in the 01/02 season in their own hands.

Two weeks later, when the Gunners fell behind Villa by two goals, it was Henry who came forward to equalize the score. People saw a rare Henry. It reflects how much the Gunners needed to win at the time.

In stoppage time, Henry scored again to help Arsenal complete the reversal. A miraculous reversal requires miraculous heroes. Even the always reserved professor Arsene Wenger applauded his hero with a rare cry to the sky.

The ensuing season was like a flat river, and Henry celebrated more and more, and became more and more imposing, because the group of gunmen he led was finally approaching the pinnacle of the Premier League step by step.

This season marks the second time in Arsenal's history that they have become Premier League champions, while Henry has lifted the trophy for the first time. Of course, what Henry also won is the FA Cup. Arsenal achieved the honor of the double crown in the 01/02 season. Henry became the best player in the Premier League for the first time with 24 goals. Brie even has a king-like status in the Premier League.

No fan who likes Henry will forget this moment and this goal. This is a scene that happened in the North London Derby in 2002. This is the most classic celebration of Henry's most classic goal. The kneeling slide after the 70-meter dash makes people excited. This also indicates that the legend of Henry in the 2002/03 season will continue.

On November 27, 2002, Henry at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome was unstoppable. He scored a hat-trick in the Champions League match against Rome. This was Henry's first hat-trick in Europe.

Almost exactly a year later, still in Italy, Henry scored two more goals and led the army to sweep Inter Milan 5-1. The picture of 26-year-old Henry passing by Zanetti is memorable for a long time.

On January 12, 2003, in the match between Arsenal and Birmingham, Henry ushered in the 100-goal milestone for the Gunners. Less than three-and-a-half years since his arrival, he has entered the Arsenal club's hall of honor.

At that time, Henry, already known as the King of Highbury, was at the top of his game, and he was absolutely confident.

The 03/04 season was a season in which Henry and Arsenal made history. They became the first team to remain unbeaten for an entire season since the establishment of the Premier League. These iconic goals and the on-site commentary's heartfelt shouts complement each other. In that era, Arsenal and the French gunners were all firing their arrows. The ice prince and Henry's partner was almost perfect. No one in the league able to stop him.

In April 2004, a long-distance attack against Liverpool seemed to put people in the North London Derby two years ago again. Henry used this domineering goal and a hat-trick to help the Gunners win the Red Army and sprint towards the championship.

Just seven days later, a strikingly similar goal was repeated at Highbury, where Leeds United's defense was as easily torn apart by King Henry as the Reds had been a week earlier, in which he scored four goals and even won great respect.

In the last round, Henry helped the Gunners keep the season unbeaten, with 26 wins and 12 draws. With an unparalleled record, Arsenal once again regained the Premier League title that had been lost for a year. Then they created the best record in the history of 49 unbeaten games in the Premier League. Henry won the runner-up of the World Player of the Year consecutively, won the Premier League Golden Boot consecutively, and also consecutively won the double best of the Premier League Professional League and the Journalists Association.

On October 18, 2005, an ordinary Champions League group match, an ordinary opponent, Henry will always remember it. The two goals against Sparta Prague made him surpass Ian Wright's club history record of 185 goals, and officially became the first player in Arsenal's history.

Wright personally handed over the gunner's platinum piano, which marked the king of sex, to Henry's hands, and the alternation of the old and new eras of king of sex was officially witnessed at this moment. In eight years, he has rewritten many Arsenal records, and his performance is far from the end.

When playing against Real Madrid, the scene where the opponent's four superstars scored consecutively made people excited. This is Henry at the peak, the figure of the king, and the spirit of whoever fights for the front.

In the background of the honors of the Premier League and the FA Cup, the Champions League trophy became Henry's highest dream in the 05/06 season. When he attacked his old club Juventus with astonishing momentum at Highbury, when Wenger cheered and sank the yellow submarine, the Gunners were only 90 minutes away from the Champions League trophy.

But before that, Henry also completed another task, bid farewell to Highbury, a hat-trick bid farewell to this stadium with infinite glory.

Ian Wright in the stands was very excited. He is the legend of Arsenal, and he was surpassed by today's legendary Henry. They are all on this lawn. There are too many thoughts and stories in it. The football temple of 1993 was integrated in King Henry's affectionate last kiss.

The Gunners' new home is not far away, a few minutes' drive away, and the Emirates Stadium is a few streets away. Henry has entered the eighth year of the Gunners era. He is the captain, he is the leader, he is the legend, and he is the killer. , he is the king of the gun king.

His teammates can continue to fight for Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, but does Henry still have this chance?

Henry loves Arsenal, but he's also fed up with always feeling far away from the top of Europe, and he's fed up with building that damn new stadium, benefiting from tight finances, and not having strong teammates. Na was finally defeated by Chelsea's Rubles.

Henry wants to go out for a walk, but before leaving, he wants to do one last thing, which is to help Arsenal win the championship trophy that symbolizes the top of Europe.

The past flashed quickly in Henry's mind, and when everything returned to the original point, Henry finally calmed down, but this calmness was accompanied by a raging desire to fight in his heart.
