Goal reports that, Henry who announced his retirement in December 2014, yelped Arsenal win two Premier League titles and four FA Cup trophies while he also remains the club’s record scorer with 228 goals.
“I never considered leaving Arsenal.” Henry told beIN Sports . “But I was 29 years old and in form, I thought all the guys left and I did not know if Arsene (Wenger) would be staying.
“It was not easy and when I left I cried. I’m not ashamed to say it. I’m a competitor and I had to
leave.”
Henry joined Barcelona in a €21.3 million deal in June 2007 but insists he had to force his way into Guardiola’s plans.

People talk about luck, but you need to create your own.
When you work, you get the reward at the end.”
