On the bus back to London from Birmingham, Henry was relieved.
He has just received the news that the African striker of Chelsea has scored again.
In the first few rounds, he didn't score much, but in the latter games, Eto'o almost scored every game. At present, he has caught up with the third place in the scorer list, just behind him, as well as Shiller, the veteran who scored 16 goals.
In addition to Eto'o, Ibrahimovic's goals have soared. At present, he has scored 13 goals, behind van Nistelrooy's 14. He is tied with Fulham striker Saha, but it seems that he can score more.
Thinking of this, Henry breathed heavily, feeling that his heart was blocked.
"What? Are you beginning to feel the pressure? " The head coach in the front row, Arsene Wenger, heard his sigh, suddenly turned his head, gave him a smile and asked.
Henry is very grateful to the manager, if there is no Arsene Wenger, it is impossible to have him Henry, so, in front of Arsene Wenger, Henry does not need to hide anything, frankly said: "that guy is more difficult than shearer."
Shearer is a veteran, although the first half goals, the state is very good, but in the winter break period, the efficiency of goals significantly declined a lot, it seems to want to reproduce the efficiency of goals in the first half, is basically impossible.
Van Nistelrooy is Henry's old opponent, not unfamiliar with each other, the goal has been very steady.
Originally, Henry thought that his biggest opponent would be Van Nistelrooy, but suddenly he killed Eto'o.
Not only Eto'o, but also Ibrahimovic seems to be getting better and better.
"Pressure is a good thing." "But you can rest assured that all of us will help you," he said with a smile
Henry nodded as he understood the love that Arsene had for him.
As the number one penalty shooter in the team, Henry has scored four or five penalties this season. Even recently, in order to re stimulate Henry's scoring state, Arsene Wenger arranged high center Kanu to start, turning the combination of attack into one high and one fast.
For his coach, Henry can't ask for more.
"Don't worry, boss, I won't lose!" Said Henry confidently.
After he landed in the Premier League from Serie A, he was transformed into a scorer by Arsene Wenger, and the number of goals soared. In the first two seasons, he scored 17 goals, and the efficiency was quite good. Especially in the 2001-02 season, he scored 24 goals in one breath, and was elected the best striker of the Premier League season.
But last season, he reached the peak of his career, scoring 24 goals, contributing 23 assists, directing 47 goals in a season, which is unparalleled in the world. However, in the competition for the best shooter, he lost to Manchester United's van Nistelrooy by one goal.
It's like Arsenal losing the league title in the end.
Therefore, this season Henry learned from the experience, determined to have a snow before shame, in any case, to win back the top scorer.
Arsenal are also very supportive, giving him a strong backing and confidence.
"I never doubt that you, Thierry, are the best and most perfect scorer in the world. No one can match you," he said
Henry nodded slightly and gave a smile, his eyes firmer.

With a heavy and slow pace, Lampard finally stood at the door of the head coach's office.
"I hope we can have a good talk. I'll wait for you in the office."
This is the afternoon after the end of the training session, the head coach Alpine retained Lampard said a word.
After returning to the dressing room, he took a bath and changed clothes. Lampard was thinking all the way, what to talk about?
What else to talk about?
Since Gao Han took charge of the team, he has completely lost his main position. Even during the rotation and injury of Deco and Veron, Gao Han would rather trust Joe Cole than give him many chances. He just arranged for him to play in the cup.
As a result, his performance in the Carling Cup and FA Cup has been seen by everyone.
Yes, he wants to leave Chelsea. He doesn't deny that, because he feels that his value can't be recognized here. In this case, he wants to go to a team that is willing to recognize or even help him improve his value.
For example, Manchester United!
Thinking of this, there was a breath in Lampard's chest. He raised his right hand and knocked on the cold office door.
At this moment, he is even ready to break up with the young coach.
"Come in, please." Inside came the sound of cold.
Lampard opened the door and went in. He found Gao Han standing by a coffee machine beside the sofa, looking at him with a smile.
"Frank, please sit down." Gao Han is steaming with a cup of coffee in his hand.
When Lampard came over after the door closed, he raised his coffee and asked, "have a drink?"
It seems that he is very satisfied with the Nestle coffee machine behind him.
"Or... No more." Lampard shook his head.
As a professional player, he always tells himself to try not to touch such drinks.
"Don't worry, just one glass. I'll give you some milk." Alpine suggests.
Lampard thought about it and finally nodded.
Gao Han replied with a smile, just a moment, turned around and began to toss the coffee.
Listening to the grinding of beans in the coffee machine, Lampard turned and looked at the back wall with a picture of the whole family of Chelsea hanging on it.
He recognized at a glance that it was taken in the Chinese restaurant on Christmas night. Unexpectedly, the high cold really hung him on the wall, but it was a pity that he didn't see the legendary coach's girlfriend that night.
According to deco, it was a goddess as beautiful as an angel.
"I think green Wald's photography is terrible." The voice of the cold suddenly sounded.
Lampard wondered, "why?"
It looks very good.
But Alpine is a serious way: "he made me ugly."
Lampard was stunned and then laughed. Is that a reason?
He really didn't expect that alpine has such a sense of humor.
Even he was thinking, at the post match press conference of boxing day, he directly refused Glenn Wald's question, is it because of this picture?
If so, the guardian reporter is really unlucky!
It's clearly my duty to take photos for others, but I'm still despised. It's really
When Lampard grins bitterly, a cup of hot fancy coffee with milk is put in front of him. The high cold even pulls a flower on it, but it's a little ugly.
"I'm still learning." Gao Han is honest and not afraid to admit that he is not good at learning.
Lampard smiles and takes a drink. It's really delicious.
After they sat down face to face, they both drank coffee in silence, but soon the cold broke the silence.
"Frank, frankly speaking, I know you are not satisfied with your situation in the team, and I can understand your feelings. Believe me, I have no malice at all."
Lampard nodded. "I understand."
Between him and alpine, it's just a professional conflict, and there's no problem in private.
Otherwise, he would not have sat down to drink coffee face to face with Gao Han.
"In the past three weeks, there has been a lot of news about your transfer. Even I have asked the team to refuse many offers. Frankly, I don't want you to leave the team because you are very important in my plan Gao Han said sincerely.
"Me?" Lampard was a bit stunned.
He never thought that Gao Han would say such words to him.
Is this a trick?
But Gao was very serious and said, "yes, you know, I never lie, especially to my players."
"But I don't understand." Lampard shook his head.
"Then I'll show you something."
Gao Han said, he took a pile of thick materials from the sofa next to him and sent them directly to Lampard.
The Chelsea midfield took over and looked at it, frowning immediately.
This material is about his detailed analysis. Not only does he have relevant data and analysis in every game, but also in his usual training. Some of them are so deep that even Lampard himself is surprised.
"It's impossible for a team to play by one set of tactics. When I was at Atletico Madrid, I created three different sets of techniques and tactics for the team, and even more details were changed."
"At present, we have only one set of mature playing style, which is the one that focuses on the league. You know, it's very stable and the players perform very well, so it's difficult for me to adjust the team's playing style without injuries, especially when the team's performance is so stable and the players are playing better and better."
This explanation of the high cold is very direct and frank indeed.
As a player who has been in the professional league for many years, Lampard can certainly understand the intention of the head coach.
It can even be said that any head coach can't adjust the team's starting lineup and change the team's playing style at this time, unless he doesn't want to make achievements.
But the cold is obviously not good, because this summer's huge investment of 200 million euros forced him to show the corresponding results after the end of the season, otherwise, the saliva of the English media alone would be enough to drown him.
Therefore, Lampard agrees with the explanation of high cold.
It's one thing to identify with others, but it's another to accept them, especially when it's about your own interests and career prospects.
"The material you saw was tracked by the analysis team at the beginning of the season. I always think that you will become the key to the transformation of our team, because your back insertion, your characteristics in attack and defense, and your tactical execution in the game are admirable."
"Therefore, in the cup, I have been constantly adjusting and changing the team's playing style. I hope to use the cup to break in a set of skills and tactics different from the league, and I believe you can see the effect."
It was at this moment that Lampard really understood the coach's intention.
League to achieve results, technical and tactical play and the main line-up to maintain stability, so the use of the cup to try to change.
And it's all about Lampard.
This immediately warmed Lampard's heart. In the head coach's mind, he didn't have the status he had imagined before.
"You have to believe me, frank, I will not give up any player, especially a player as good as you." Gao Han still said sincerely, "although I can't promise you anything now, I hope you understand that you are very important in my mind."
"It's not just this season, it's not just the Carling Cup and the FA Cup, we're going to play the UEFA Cup this season, we're going to play the Champions League next season, and you're going to be a vital part of our team
