Henry: “It hurts me to see Juventus in the situation they’re in now”

Thierry Henry reflects on his brief spell at Juventus and discusses the club’s current form.

The former France and Arsenal star, now a pundit, recalls his brief spell at Juventus in the second half of the 1998-99 season on the Kampo podcast: "I had the number 6? What did you expect me to do? It was half of 12, that's why! In the end, it suited me because I played as a wing-back. That's when I started losing my hair, by the way! Was my time at Juventus a failure? No, absolutely not. I wouldn't say that for a moment! As I often say, however you look at it, you learn".

He continued, according to the translation published by Tuttosport: "When I arrived, Tacchinardi, Iuliano, Peruzzi, Di Livio, Conte, Ciro Ferrara, Pessotto and Birindelli were there. Those lads… I really liked Juventus. I knew Zizou, Edgar Davids and Fonseca. Alex had suffered a cruciate ligament tear when I arrived. And then there was Inzaghi..."

On Juventus' current situation, he said: "It hurts me to see Juve in the situation they find themselves in now, but they're an extraordinary club".
