Fans turning on Henry
Filed Under Primera Division | Leave a Comment
In his second year with Barcelona, Thierry Henry is still having a rough time with the city. Last year he was heavily scrutinized because he was expected to be the final piece in a championship team. Unfortunately for Barca, things turned out far from great and the players, especially Henry took the fault. On top of all that the French forward had to get accustomed to a whole new city and team, where he had to learn a whole new playing style.
Perhaps some of the problems were actually the team’s fault, who occasionally played him out of position and in times when he wasn’t ready (this according to Henry.) Whatever it is, the fans still seem to be complaining and many are now calling for Henry to be taken out of the main lineup. According to El Mundo Deportivo, the fans’ choice for the left flank position is Andres Iniesta and for central forward they want Bojan Krkic.
The fans may be ready to dump Henry, but the team isn’t going to be so quick on dropping the 24 million euro man. Management believes that Henry can return to what he once was and they are willing to give him more time so that he can prove it. He can certainly still win back the fans if he starts to perform and if the team starts winning once more.
