Barcelona left back Eric Abidal expects his team-mate and fellow countryman Thierry Henry to be more ‘selfish’ than last season and to score more goals for the Catalonian giants.
Henry was expected to play up front this season, but it appears the Frenchman will once again ply his trade on the left wing, as Samuel Eto’o will continue to be Barca’s number 9.
Despite not being used in his natural position, the 30-year-old will do his best to hit the back of the net more often than last term at Camp Nou, and defender Abidal will try and make life easier for the Arsenal legend.
“Titi did a lot to help us defend last year,” Abidal told Marca.
“But this year his work will be scoring goals. The ones at the back have to defend as well as the midfielders in order to help him be freer.
“When we play with three up front, there's one more attacker so we can score more goals.”
