Henry feels he’s on the up

Barca striker Thierry Henry told reporters today: “I’m feeling good, better than at the start of the season. I know I’m not scoring, but I am trying to get on target in every game”.

Thierry Henry is well aware that he’s not been having much luck in front of goal of late, but rather than look on the negative side, the French international reckons: “the truth of it is that recently I’ve not had much luck in front of goal, but I am trying hard every game. I tried in Valladolid with that bicycle kick and before that against Seville and Tenerife too, but it just wouldn’t happen”.

He may not have been scoring, but Henry feels he’s back on form: “after the trouble I had with my knee which stopped me playing at 100%, I’m feeling much better with every game I play. I feel better than I did at the start of the season”.

Good memories of El Molinón

Last season Barca got their first win of the campaign at the Molinon and then went on a 20-game unbeaten league run and Henry has very good memories of the ground: “I remember that game very well. We played very well and after that the league went really well. Even though we won 1-6 last season it is still a tough ground to visit and we will have to be very focussed if we are to take the points this time round”.

“Guardiola is vital”

Just last Wednesday Club President Laporta announced that Pep Guardiola would be staying at the club for another season and Henry commented: “it’s very important for me that Guardiola is staying on for a long time as with him we’ve won everything. It’s vital he stays so that we keep on as we have done so far”.
