Thierry Henry was a little lonely when he walked off the field, and he looked at Zhuo Yang, who was waiting to hand him over on the sidelines, as if he saw himself ten years ago.

Ten years ago, in the summer, Thierry Henry fled Juventus, where he had only been in the market for half a year, for $16.5 million to join Arsenal, the company that would make him famous. He became King of Highbury for the next eight years and was transformed into a great centre-forward by Mr Arsene Wenger.

Henry feels that Zhuo Yang has many similarities with himself, both have been the king of the same court, they all have a mentor they respect, and they all have a team that they always care about.

On the last day of August 1994, the 17-year-old made his debut at the top level in Monaco's Ligue 1 tie with Nice, when Monaco was coached by Arsène Wenger. At that time, the professor was still very young, and he trained the golden pair of Henry and Trezeguet for Monaco. Without Arsene Wenger, there would not have been the two shy and weak-crowned teenagers around Zinedine Zidane in the summer of France in 1998.

When Henry couldn't get rid of the tight defense of Serie A defenders at Juventus, Professor Arsene Wenger, who had left England from Japan, immediately took him to Highbury, and 16.5 million was the Premier League standard of the year and the largest player purchase in the history of Arsenal. It wasn't until now, ten years later, yesterday, that the value of this team history was broken by the Russian 'Tsar' Arshavin. Arshavin's move from Tottenham to arch-rivals Arsenal caused an uproar in the City of London, and he became another traitor to White Hart Lane after Campbell, worth around $25 million for £15 million. When the Tsar left Fort Madi four years ago, Chairman Mullen sold him for £13 million.

Arshavin left Tottenham for the title, just like Thierry Henry did two years ago.

After eight years at Arsenal and King Highbury is gone, Arsenal cannot satisfy Thierry Henry's thirst for a title or his demand for a contract. Arsenal treats veterans over 30 years old equally, and it is very refreshing to adopt the practice of signing all of them once a year. Henry, whose contract expires in a year's time, will be 31 years old by then, and he can't accept the rule. But the more important reason Thierry Henry left Arsenal was that he wanted the Champions Cup.

On the day of his departure, Henry watched alone as he arrived at the demolished site of Highbury Field, looking distractedly at the busy construction site.

In the summer of 2007, Henry came to Barcelona for 24 million euros, in fact, he hesitated for a long time between Barcelona and AC Milan that year, at that time he was actually more optimistic about Milan with Zhuoyang and Kaka, but the dismal experience of Serie A and Spain's more favorable tax system made him finally choose Barcelona.

Two years later, Henry realized that he had been right to hesitate.

The 2005/06 season was considered to be the pinnacle of Arsenal's years, and although they were destined to finish fourth in the Premier League, they were unbeatable in the Champions League until they met Joyoung's Madiburg in the semi-finals. If it weren't for Zhuo Yang, Henry believed that Arsenal could win the Champions League that year, and still believes in it.

Last season was the same, with Barcelona being stronger than Arsenal in '06 but met Zhuo Yang's AC Milan in the final, an unbeatable side.

The Barcelona people said that Zhuo Yang ruined their two good deeds, but no one remembered that Henry's best two chances were also extinguished by Zhuo Yang. The Barcelona people are glad that Zhuo Yang is now a teammate, but Henry is a little sad in the rejoicing.

Henry is 32 years old, and no one knows his body better than him, and he knows that he is past his prime. From a personal point of view, it is not good news for Zhuo Yang to come to Barcelona at this time, as well as the Swede. The facts are obvious, Zhuo Yang and Ibuvic are worth close to 200 million together, and they can't be here to play as a substitute, unless they behave really miserably.

No one thought that the 28-year-old Ibrahimovic and the 24-year-old Zhuo Yang would suddenly decline, while Henry was already 32 years old.

Barcelona's attacking trident up front is clearly going to be the world of Zhuo Yang, Messi and Ibrahimovic, while the younger Pedro and Bojan also have aggressive upward momentum. Henry sees these very clearly, and he is mentally prepared to gradually become a substitute in the new season.

Zhuo Yang is here, and the champion should not run anymore, but he has become a thigh-hugging person, which makes Henry very uncomfortable, but he is helpless.

Henry didn't complain about Zhuo Yang, and even admired him very much. Last night, when Zhuo Yang invited Henry to eat a big snail, Henry asked him: What is your favorite of the three teams?

Zhuo Yang said: Madibao!

As a result, Henry knew that Zhuo Yang was a sincere person, just like himself, because Henry had always had Monaco in his heart.

.

Zhuo Yang watched Henry walk towards him, and there was no emotion in his heart, and there was no wave in the ancient well.

After deciding to come to Barcelona, Zhuo Yang, Fat Man and Rijkaard carefully analyzed the tactics, position and personnel composition of the Barcelona team together. Zhuo Yang believes he has no problem adapting to Barcelona's tactics and style, and it will certainly take less time than he did when he came to Milan three years ago. This is both a rational recognition of objective existence – because I am more mature than I was three years ago, and I have experienced more and more experience in football style – but also based on my own strong self-confidence.

In the midfield, Zhuo Yang feels that he can top anyone, including Messi, but Guardiola will definitely not be so stupid. Zhuo Yang also believes that he can coexist with everyone in the midfield, including Thierry Henry.

Ibrahimovic is here to replace Samuel Eto'o, Xavi is Andrea Pirlo at Barcelona and Andres Iniesta is versatile in midfield. Of the six original main positions in the midfield, Zhuo Yang believes that he is most likely to squeeze out the other two.

Keita and Toure compete for a place, Barca also need a strong defender in midfield, and Sergio Busquets is also very competitive in this position, and he is the youngest. In this way, he should have squeezed Henry, who had gone downhill, to the bench in the first place.

Football is cruel, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Zhuo Yang respects Henry, but will not sacrifice himself for him, and Shevchenko has to accept the sadness of the end of his life in Milan. Professional football is a vanity fair where the back waves push the front waves, and no one has ever heard the newcomers laugh and no one listens to the old people crying. Zhuo Yang knows that Thierry Henry is a good man, and he has said at Arsenal and his international team-mates Flamini and Scar Ribery that Henry has a gentle personality and does not like to fight with people.

Zhuo Yang likes Henry like this, but unless Henry has the situation of Ninth Master Inzaghi, he can only face the metabolism of football.

.

Zhuo Yang and Henry hugged on the sidelines and patted each other on the back. The cheers at the Camp Nou had not stopped from a minute before Henry was on the bench, but Henry knew it wasn't for himself.

In the 53rd minute of the second half of the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup, Zhuo Yang replaced No. 14 Henry, and Barcelona's new No. 18 came on.
