Thierry Henry travels the road to total recovery of goal scoring instincts.


One of the main attractions at FC Barcelona, Thierry Henry, will be gradually introduced into the Barca team in order to enable the recovering goal master adapt well to his game and to the challenges of the coming season. Thierry Henry is gearing up for full flight soccer in Camp Nou as the striking sensation is now training to regain the form which made Henry an idol at Arsenal FC. Thierry has had a long lay-off from active soccer due to his prolonged injury last season, and needs to rebuild on his skills before the new season commences. Henry says:

I have been training over the past ten days. For four months before that, I have been out of action on the training pitch. It's important to take things a little at a time. I'm not yet prepared for the beginning of competitive football. After four months without playing, I'd rather take it slowly to be in as good a condition as possible. But even though I've barely trained, I'm feeling good now. I can't wait to get started as soon as these physical limitations are out of the way.

During Barcelona's pre-season tour of Scotland, Thierry may not be used as a fulltime player, but sparingly so as to ensure he follows a planned programme to attain the discovery of the goal mine.

Thierry Henry plans to lift the Champions League with Barca in the 2007/08 season, and plans to contribute his quota by scoring as many goals as possible for the Blaugrana in his first year.
