Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry played under Pep Guardiola at Barcelona and has made a key observation about his continued success at Manchester City
Thierry Henry has spoken about an underappreciated aspect of Pep Guardiola’s success at Manchester City. The 46-year-old became a Premier League legend during his time at Arsenal, establishing himself as one of the best players in the world, before joining Barcelona in 2007. His second season at the Camp Nou saw him coached by Guardiola as the Catalan giants won the treble.
Speaking on the Rest is Football podcast, Henry admitted that, during his playing days, he worried that Guardiola's detailed plan for each game was unsustainable. However, Guardiola has enjoyed continued success, both at City and Bayern Munich, and Henry pointed to an undervalued part of his management style - which included a subtle dig at podcast host and ex-City defender Micah Richards.
“Whenever you speak about his teams, you never remember who left. At one point, big teams used to care when big players left.
