Thierry Henry, the legendary footballer who played for Arsenal, achieved great success during his time with the club. He managed to win two Premier League titles, a feat that not many players can boast of. However, even after retiring, he still closely follows the league and has his eyes on the current title race.
As the end of the season approaches, Henry admits that he is hoping for a slip-up from Manchester City, the current league leaders. He believes that if City were to falter on the final day, it would give Arsenal a chance to finally end their 20-year wait for a league title. However, he also acknowledges the strength of City and their manager, Pep Guardiola, and believes it is highly unlikely for them to lose the title now.
City are currently leading the league by two points and need just one more win to secure their fourth successive title. Their final game is against West Ham, who will be playing under David Moyes for the last time. On the other hand, Arsenal's final game is against Everton, and if City were to slip up, Arsenal would have to win their game to become champions.
Arsenal had been leading the league for most of the season, but City overtook them when they won their game in hand against Tottenham. Henry, when discussing the title race, revealed that he knows how the players must be feeling at this crucial stage. He remembers the adrenaline and the fierce determination he felt during his playing days, and he believes City have shown that same grit and determination in crucial moments throughout the season.
However, Henry also understands that as a fan, there is always a glimmer of hope and a belief that anything can happen. He admits that the Arsenal fans must be feeling this way, hoping for a miracle that would see their team lift the trophy.
On the other hand, Henry also talks about the mindset of the players and how they should conduct themselves in such a situation. He believes that only the City fans have the right to be cocky and talk about winning the title because they are the ones who are in the driving seat. As a player, he knows that one should only celebrate and boast when the trophy is in their hands, and he hopes the City players understand this as well.
Henry also talks about his time working with Arsenal's youth teams and his admiration for Bukayo Saka, who is his current favorite player at the club. He reveals that Saka caught his eye when he was still a young player and was often overshadowed by other talented youngsters. He has a soft spot for Saka and is proud of the player he has become.
Despite being the underdogs in the title race, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta remains hopeful and believes that the dream of winning the title is still alive. He acknowledges that his team has worked hard to reach this point and that they have earned the right to have a shot at the title. He urges his players to seize the moment and make the most of the opportunity they have been given. He also reminds them that in football, anything is possible, and they should believe in themselves until the very end.
