And while Henry's remarks genuinely seem in the spirit of encouraging a teammate to maintain the highest possible standards rather than petty malice, they have had the inadvertent effect of drawing viewers' attention to BWP's chances-to-goals ratio. It's become a ritual part of Wright-Phillips' goal celebrations to wheel briefly off in joy, then appear to remember himself and grimace apologetically at Henry for any chances missed before the score.

He, too, has never matched his form alongside Henry.Īnd now there is Wright-Phillips, the man who has equaled the MLS regular-season goal-scoring record at 27, but who, according to Henry, should have had twice as many tallies. Then there was Kenny Cooper, whose barreling runs collided with several Henry crosses in Cooper's career MLS year, and who is also remembered as the subject of the Frenchman's occasional exasperated screams to the heavens of "Kennnnnnnnnnny!" as Cooper ignored open teammates to snatch at a half-chance. Some New Yorkers still talk with affection of an early Henry strike partner at the Red Bulls, Luke Rodgers, a striker as agricultural as Henry is artistic who came from the lower reaches of the English leagues to plunder nine goals, goad Landon Donovan to his face, and then disappear back from where he came without unduly troubling the statisticians again.

Yet BWP has perhaps suffered from a popular perception that takes his achievements for granted, in that they end up being seen through Henry's reputation as a serial booster of fellow strikers. A few minutes later, Kansas City were gone, as Bradley Wright-Phillips scored his second of the game.Īh yes, Bradley Wright-Phillips, whose three playoff goals should have him the talk of the post-weekend conversation, especially since New York were the only lower seed to win at home in the opening weekend of the playoffs proper. Late in the game, with the Red Bulls trailing - and causing coach Mike Petke to speculate later whether "this team was afraid of the playoffs" - Henry skated through the lines on Ellis' side of the field to set up the equalizer. It was like watching a pugilist fighting a brawler, opening a cut early, then patiently working it as his opponent was left second-guessing and swinging ineffectually. And Ellis was run ragged and was demoralized by the older man. Henry has learned the hard way that he can't just routinely accelerate out of trouble anymore, but he can send markers skidding in the wrong direction with his feints and flicks. It's more that with his cumulative Achilles problems and the general wear and tear on his body, he doesn't have the luxury of waste, and it shows in his decisions and the way he picks and chooses his battles.Īgainst Sporting Kansas City, his principal target was the luckless Kevin Ellis, a third-string right-back who Henry frankly bullied on Thursday night once he'd locked onto Ellis as the weak link in the Sporting back line. It's not that Henry is strictly at the center-circle-only stage beloved by aging playmakers everywhere, although there are plenty who'd happily watch him extend his career another five years that way. It's generally been a master class of parceling out limited energy with maximum efficiency.

There has been something almost moving about watching Henry play in these early stages of the playoffs. Henry has been playing like a man who will not be denied, even if the evidence of what time is denying him is distinctly apparent in every decision he has made over the last 180 minutes of New York soccer. This year, they're in the Eastern Conference semifinals, with a 2-0 victory in the first leg at home over D.C. Before this postseason, the Henry-era Red Bulls had gone 2-5-2 in the playoffs, never getting further than the quarterfinals.

In the past week, Henry and the Red Bulls have turned around their long-standing home jinx in the playoffs, tearing up the script that runs "Red Bulls make playoffs, Red Bulls lose at home." It is a storyline of which Henry himself has been part in each of the previous four seasons. However, with each game that has gone by in this young playoff season, it looks as if there might be more chances to appreciate him than we'd expected on the eve of the postseason. Since Thierry Henry's contract with the New York Red Bulls is up at the end of the season, and he is 37, the clock is most likely ticking. Henry, BWP and Red Bulls have rewritten MLS playoff script
