More support comes for Ronaldinho. French goal-king Thierry Henry shows some love.


Thierry Henry has been in the spotlight and has remained there ever since. Sometimes though, the pressure to outdo himself was immense as even in injury or not, be it in sickness or in health, the fans and media expected him to perform miracles on the pitch. This is the situation Henry's team mate at FC Barcelona, none other than Brazilian super star Ronaldinho finds himself in, as the midfield dynamo battles injury and fitness amidst a watching world. Thierry has seen it all, and shows sympathy and solidarity with Ronnie Henry said:

I know what it feels like when everyone expects something impossible from great players like Ronaldinho. The pressure is immense. Ronaldinho is an impressive player who changed the history of this club. When things aren't going well, it's his image that stands out. I find it an absolute pleasure to play with him. I can't explain it. For me, Ronaldinho will always be one of the best players in the history of soccer.

Henry's sensational exit from Arsenal FC was the biggest summer news this year, and his arrival at Barcelona along with his kingly welcome to Camp Nou was televised globally. Thierry has now settled down to life in the city of Barcelona and speaks of his adjustment and experience so far:

Life here is wonderful. Everybody's given me an excellent welcome. The club is like a family, and from the second you arrive you know that you're in Catalunya, rather than just Spain. Aside from that, the city is fabulous, just like the stadium and the team. Everybody is friendly, even beyond the players. The fans have been good, too. The always turn up at training sessions. It was a shock to me at first

Thierry Henry scored his first official goal for Barca in the 3-0 victory over Olympique Lyon in the Champions League. The French soccer king is one goal short of equaling the all time top scorer in French international matches, a record held by Michel Platini.
