Thierry Henry used an appearance on the Kampo podcast to look back on his brief spell at Juventus in 1999, joking about how that period coincided with the start of his hair loss.
Henry’s short stay at Juventus
The 49-year-old Henry had a brief spell at Juventus in 1999. Reports state that he made 20 appearances for the club, scoring three goals and providing two assists, with most of those games played on the left wing.
Henry left Juventus in 1999 to join Arsenal, bringing his time in Italy to an end.
Explaining the left-wing role on Kampo
Henry described in detail on Kampo what it meant to play on the left wing at Juventus. Said Henry on Kampo: "I played on the left wing at Juventus. As a winger, you need to move depending on where the ball goes. So basically, you’re the third attacker when you need to get to the back post, in the middle when you’re needed there, but then also have to track back and get into position with the five behind you when losing the ball. That is when I started losing my hair, by the way!"
Goals and awards with Arsenal
After leaving Juventus, Henry joined Arsenal and played there as a centre-forward. He scored 228 goals and provided 107 assists in 377 competitive games for Arsenal.
Henry also won two Golden Boot awards as top European scorer in 2003/04 and 2004/05.
