Thierry Henry is one of the best centre-forwards the world has ever seen. He is Arsenal’s greatest-ever player, a World Cup winner, a truly elite attacking player who helped install a rare physicality, athleticism and skill in the modern game.
So when it came for him to take on management upon his retirement, it is reasonable to expect him to play in a free-flowing, offensive, creative, dynamic manner, one that resembles his ferociously brilliant playing style. And yet, after two games as the head coach of the Montreal Impact, that could not be further from the truth.
