Arsenal legend Thierry Henry gave valuable advice to the English tomorrow before their clash with Barcelona in the eighth-finals of the Champions League. Former French international said the team Arsene Wenger will have to put up with only 30% of possession and forget about seeking to dictate the game if you want to hurt Barca.
Undoubtedly, the current holder of the trophy in the tournament is the favorite against the "ball" that need to swallow some of their basic principles in search of ultimate success. "Arsenal just have to accept that there will be 30 percent possession of the ball and you have to be most effective at times when he has," said Henry, who played for both giants.
"The whole team has to defend as a team, but instead will have to be concise and to defend themselves in their own half. Against Barcelona rarely get a chance to play, so you must be prepared to sacrifice some of their attacking game - at home and in the visit (rematch is on 26 March - br). "
"When Arsenal keep the ball, he must be brave, to preserve compactness, play the counterattack, scoring every time he entered the penalty area. We should not under any circumstances leave their central defenders without support and must see to that Barca win the ball down deep in his own half. If you allow them to make attack after attack in their part of the terrain, then at some point it becomes impossible to defend, "said Henry.
