Pep wants more from off-form Henry

IRISH fans of a bitter disposition may be pleased to learn Thierry Henry’s relationship with Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola looks to be disintegrating.

Henry earned worldwide notoriety for his infamous handball in the build-up to a William Gallas goal in Paris in November, an indiscretion that ended Ireland’s hopes of reaching this year’s World Cup finals.

Henry was a key player last season as Barcelona won an historic treble of Primera Division, Copa del Rey and Champions League titles, scoring 26 goals in all competitions.
