There hard start: Smoke in the names of Henry

Karly There's years as a youth player in the Arsenal was a big test for stortalentet from Amager.

the Talent was indisputable, but Bendtner was missing in many cases to learn something about Polish and hierarchy. The he tells about in his new book, published Tuesday in the newspaper Politiken's Publishing house.

Here he says, among other things, as the head of the ungdomsakademiet, Liam Brady, causing him to collapse when he threatens him with sending him home to Copenhagen.

And then teaches young Nicklas, how to behave and appeal to the somewhat older and more prominent names that are in the club.

the Following episode, which the british newspaper The Guardian cites, will take place in the spring of 2005, where he after a year as a youth player has scored well with the goals for the U18 team and therefore the coach regularly with the first team.


It goes overall really good, but young Nicklas forget at one point what he was fiddling with.

- During a workout, we play 11 against 11 with a maximum of two touches at a time. I stand and look Thierry Henry, who touches the ball three times. ’Three touches’, I shout. Wenger's assistant, Pat Rice, shouts back: ’Game on, for heaven's sake’

the Damage has happened.

- He (Henry, ed.) turns towards me and puts a finger over his lips: ’Shhhhh’. Shortly after, I do the same. The ball touches my heel, then my toe before I play it on. It is a movement, but ungdomsspilleren get a free kick against him. Of course, I do it. I think not. I start just to help me. Big time.

- Henry says to me, that I must keep the mouth shut, this time with a lot of profanity included. In retrospect, it is a good advice. But I hear it is not. I yell back that it is for him to keep his mouth shut. He runs over to me, confronts me, yelling into my face, and say everything possible, writes Bendtner.

Then comes the stars Ashley Cole and Sol Campbell and asks dane to stop and just continue to play.

It seems to work. Bendtner tier and learn that it is what happens when one puts himself out with a world star, but are nevertheless surprised subsequent.

- After the workout comes Henry over to me. We begin to talk, first in the locker room and later in the players ' lounge. I was not aware that he had so many words, but he has. It is a two hour long monologue about everything, writes Bendtner about the incident, which ends with the two giving each other a hug.
