REDKNAPP AND HENRY TAKE AWARDS
Friday 7th May 2004
Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp and Arsenal striker Thierry Henry have picked up the respective Barclaycard manager and player of the month awards for April.
Fratton Park chief Redknapp enjoyed a tremendous month in April picking up 10 points from a possible 12 to secure Pompey's survival in The Premiership.
The South Coast side beat Manchester United, Leeds and Birmingham and drew with Charlton during April making them the form team of the league.
It is Redknapp's first award of the season and the former West Ham United manager is bound to be in the running for Manager of the Year award after keeping Pompey in The Premiership on such a limited budget.
Henry was in electric form for Arsenal in April scoring a remarkable seven goals in four matches, as The Gunners cruised to The Premiership title.
四月的比赛中,亨利在4场比赛中打进7球,帮助阿森纳夺得英超冠军。
French star Henry inspired Arsenal to the title with a brilliant hat-trick in the 4-2 win over Liverpool and followed that up with a four-goal salvo in the 5-0 demolition of Leeds.
在阿森纳4-2战胜利物浦的比赛中,亨利上演帽子戏法,而在之后狂扫利兹的比赛里,亨利更是打进了4球。
Henry has scored 29 Premiership goals of this season and was voted PFA Footballer of the Year last month for the second successive year.
本赛季亨利已攻入29个联赛入球,并连续第二年当选英超最佳球员。
