Footballers are scoring machines. If you do not score a goal, especially if you are a striker, you fall out of favor with fans. But do you know it reaches a time when celebrating a goal does not make any sense to a player.
This is the situation former Arsenal lethal striker Thierry Henry finds himself in. Henry, who plays for New York Red Bulls FC, no longer celebrates after scoring.
The 36-year-old scored in his team’s 4-1 win over Columbus in a recent match and walked away as if nothing had happened.
In fact, he appeared almost annoyed that he had scored.
“Thierry Henry has scored so many goals in his career to date that netting them nowadays just doesn’t seem to excite him anymore,” reports Metro Sports, a British online news site.
In his English Premier League football career, Henry scored 174 goals for Arsenal in his 254 appearances.
It is understandable; Henry must act like a senior. At his age, who wants to see him do a somersault after netting a goal?
