Thierry Henry spoke yesterday of how he missed life in London, and
how he likes the atmosphere at Barça.
Henry was quoted in the Daily mail saying, 'I miss London a lot and
always will. It's a great city, I had a great life there. I lived
eight years there and it's not something I can forget just like
that. I am having to play myself back into form because of the
amount of games I missed and it will take time.
'I played eight seasons without missing anything. It was a shock to
the system to not play for six months and coming back has not been
easy, but I am starting to feel better.
'The pain is going away and I felt sharper for the first time
against Real Zaragoza a couple of weeks ago. It's been a long time
since I felt like that.
'The atmosphere is good at Barcelona. It is like a family and
reminds me of Arsenal.'
The former Gunners skipper, and player-who
should-have-been-voted-the-world's-best (on three occasions...)
also said he plans to come back to say a proper goodbye to the
Arsenal, expanding thus,
'I think I will try and do it in December because we have a winter
break in Spain and I will have the time.
'I would rather go back in a non-playing situation and be able to
enjoy it. I don't want to get drawn against Arsenal in the
Champions League this season. That would not be a proper way to say
goodbye to the fans.
'When I go I will probably just sit in the stands. I won't walk out
on the pitch or anything like that.
'The focus should be on the team and I don't want to draw any
attention away from them and what they're doing. They will be
playing a game and I want to respect that.'
