Barcelona Coach Pep Guardiola Irritated By Thierry Henry's Negative Attitude - Report

Henry reported to be focussed on France....

Thierry Henry was once again on target for France in the World Cup qualifiers.
Thierry Henry is reportedly "irritating" Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola with his negative attitude, according to AS.

Henry was a late substitute for Seydou Keita in the 1-1 draw away to Rubin Kazan in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night but failed to influence his side.

Apparently when instructed to warm up after 60 minutes of the game the striker was slow to don a training vest to limber up on the touchline before finally coming on after 82 minutes.

He still has not scored for Barca since lastMmay and it is reported that the 32-year-old striker is focussed more on securing his place at the World Cup in South Africa by guiding France to a play-off victory over Ireland, with the first leg in Dublin in eight days time.

Henry aggravated his hamstring during France's last World Cup qualifier against Austria and has scored three goals for Les Bleus since September adding fuel to suggestions that playing for France is his priority.

The Spanish publication maintains that Guardiola confided in Henry last season but relations between the two are now strained.
