HENRY REGRETS LEAVING ARSENAL

FC Barcelona's Thierry Henry is not the player he was at Arsenal.
Henry said so himself Wednesday in response to press reports that he was unhappy with his playing time under coach Frank Rijkaard.
Arsenal's all-time leading goalscorer said Rijkaard and Barcelona's 4-3-3 system were not to blame for his current, even season-long, slump.
"I played for eight years with a team and a determined position and now I'm at another club, playing another position with another tactical scheme. Stop comparing the Henry of Barcelona with the Henry of Arsenal,'' the France striker said.
"This is the Henry you will see here.''
Former Arsenal teammate Robert Pires told reporters Sunday after Villarreal's 2-1 win at the Camp Nou that Henry was frustrated at being substituted so often this season after never being so at Arsenal.
Henry, who has been replaced 12 times during the campaign, was swapped for Bojan Krkic in the 65th minute -- moments before the Catalans scored to tie it at 1-1.
"I always expect more from myself and I'm never satisfied when a game ends,'' the 31-year-old Henry said. "But I'm used to living with criticism.''
Though Henry said Pires' words weren't completely accurate, he admitted he has endured a tough patch since his $32 million transfer last June.
Henry pointed to his divorce in September, which had left him unable to see his daughter more than "five times in the last eight months.''
"If I can see my daughter a little more, it will help me,'' Henry said.
Barcelona was expected to be an offensive juggernaut after adding Henry to a roster that already included Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o. Barcelona trails bitter rival Real Madrid in the Spanish league by eight points.
Henry scored 214 goals in eight seasons at Arsenal. He has notched 13 goals in 33 appearances since his move to Spain.
