Henry commented on Arsenal and Arteta: Performance in the past three years should have been exchanged for a trophy

Recently, Arsenal's top scorer Thierry Henry said that Arsenal's efforts in the past three seasons should have won some championship trophys.

Michol Arteta has reshaped Arsenal as a strong team since taking over the team in 2019, but has won only one important trophy during his coaching period - the FA Cup in 2020.

Arsenal has won the runner-up in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons, two of which have pushed Manchester City to the last moment, but this season has fallen behind Liverpool by a large gap and ranked second.

They reached the semi-finals in the Champions League (last season in the quarterfinals), but were eliminated in the League Cup and stopped in the semi-finals.

"I'm not saying I'm disappointed with Arsenal, but it's normal for people to question what the team is doing now," Henry, 47, said in an interview with the media.

"I understand that when you first took over, it wasn't exactly your team. You need at least three or four transfer windows to change everything you want. It takes time, and you have to give the coach time to implement what he wants to do. "

"For the past three years, Arsenal has been in a situation where it should have brought at least one trophy or (scored) a final. "

Arsenal's North London derby rival Tottenham Hotspur ended their 17-year wait last week by winning the Europa League; Newcastle United ended decades of championship drought by winning the League Cup; Crystal Palace also won the first major trophy in team history by winning the FA Cup.

Even Manchester United, which has experienced a significant recession in recent years, has managed to win trophys, especially the FA Cup last season and the League Cup in 2022/23.

"Manchester United has reached five finals in the past five years, the one that everyone laughed at - and Arsenal has not reached any finals in the past three years of construction," Henry said.

"So, when people ask questions like, 'Of course you should go for a trophy, right?', I really understand. "
