Arsenal's Thierry Henry believes that Chelsea's fear for them is evident in their negative play when the two faced in the Community Shield.
Henry insists that Chelsea's defensive stance is indicative of how they respect their title rival's attack.
"What did Chelsea do that day? Only defend," asserted the new Arsenal skipper.
"Besides, they defend each time they play against us whereas it's different with other rivals.
"The way Chelsea played against us the other day is, for me, a form of respect. So they fear us.
"When there are five minutes left and [Hernan] Crespo makes for the corner flag to gain time, what does that mean to you?
"For me, it's clear. They were afraid of being pulled back and tried everything not to be so.
"Five minutes from the end, and in a charity match, what's more.
"Without taking anything away from Chelsea, I'd like to think that Arsenal play football, more than our opponents.
"It's true we haven't made any signings but we have a real team and many hours of work together at training.
"That has to come out in our football. It's a challenge. It's this cohesion that interests me."

不知道这次队长亲自出马搞心理战能否成功，希望粪车凭借主场之利压出来，首次让亨利看到特里老王八身后的空当，向世人证明一下特里不过是靠着切尔西跟英格兰都不压出来成名的。
