Thierry Henry reveals Arsene Wenger made him world class player

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has attributed much of his success and evolution as a player to the tutelage of former manager Arsène Wenger.

While Henry emerged as one of the brightest students from renowned French football academy Clairefontaine, he admits it was his time under Wenger that shaped his career.

In an interview with Le Parisien, Henry revealed, “He (Wenger) educated me about football and life. He made me see the game differently, to think differently.

“After Arsène, I considered myself a football player who scored goals, not as a scorer. There is a big nuance.”

Wenger first signed Henry during his time with AS Monaco, and later brought him to the English Premier League when he took over as Arsenal’s manager.
