Cesc Fabregas Reflects on Avoiding Thierry Henry at Monaco

Cesc Fabregas recently shared his experiences with Thierry Henry during their short time together at Monaco. The two players, who had previously played together at Arsenal, reunited when Henry was appointed head coach in January 2019. Fabregas humorously recounted how he would often check to see if Henry was around before leaving the hotel they shared, as he wanted to avoid getting caught in long conversations that could last for hours. This light-hearted anecdote reflects the camaraderie they shared despite the brief nature of their reunion. Fabregas expressed immense respect for Henry, stating that he felt 'unbeatable' when playing alongside him at Arsenal. He compared Henry's influence on the pitch to that of Lionel Messi at Barcelona, emphasizing how both players provided a sense of security and confidence. Fabregas noted that even on challenging days, having Henry on the field made him feel stronger and more assured of victory. Their time together at Monaco was short-lived, lasting only three weeks before Henry was dismissed from his coaching role. However, the bond they formed during their earlier years at Arsenal and the respect they hold for each other remains evident. Currently, Fabregas is the head coach of Serie A side Como, while Henry has become an investor in the club. Their ongoing connection highlights the lasting impact of their shared experiences in football.
