Henry: Arsenal are good boys now
tribalfootball.com - October 23, 2004
Thierry Henry insists Arsenal are not bully-boys.
He insisted: "We have had only one red card in the Premiership since then.
"You have to give us credit. When we were bad, people were saying we were bad. Now we are good, I don't see anyone saying we are good.
"We have really improved our disciplinary record since last season. We did have a lot red cards. Some of the players did tackles that were difficult to argue against.
"On other occasions maybe we reacted when we shouldn't have. Now, we are doing well.
"Teams are still making it difficult for us when we play. But we are holding it together and this makes us stronger.
"You have to keep your energy for the benefit of the group.
"You might lose it and in the last minute you may not be in the right frame of mind to score a goal or to stop a goal. So the team is losing out.
"I know we took some red cards we could have avoided. Now, we have a strong mentality."

亨利:枪手们现在都是好孩子
亨利坚持说,枪手们不是卤莽的人。他说:“我们从那以后只得了一张红牌。”
“你们应该相信我们。当我们处于劣势的时候,人们都说我们很差。现在我们的形势很好,但我看不到有人说我们的好话。我们的纪律的确从上赛季开始就有所进步了。某些球员的确承认不会再轻易跟对手发生争执。
在某些情况下,也许我们会重演我们不该做的事。但现在,我们表现很好。保持团结对于我们在比赛中的表现很重要,这是很困难的,不过我们都一直团结在一起,团队使我们更加强大。你必须为了团队而保持体力。
在比赛到最后的时候,你可能会体力不支,可能会无法集中精神去改写比分,这样你的队伍就会输掉。我知道我们拿了一些我们本来可以避免的红牌。现在我们已经准备好了,以最好的心态去迎接比赛。”
