Henry tells team-mates to ignore Mourinho

(GSM) – Barcelona striker Thierry Henry has told his team-mates to ignore Internazionale coach Jose Mourinho in the build up to their Champions League semi-final.

The Nerazzurri take a 3-1 lead out of the first leg to Spain. However, Inter will be without playmaker Wesley Sneijder and arrive at the Camp Nou having already lost there this season.

“I have known him for years from the times of matches between Chelsea and Arsenal,” Henry explained.

“I have learned not to pay attention to him and to think only about football.”

When asked if he expected Inter to perform as they did in the first leg, Henry replied: “We knew it. They have not changed with respect to the autumn, but in the group stage match at the Camp Nou we managed to impose ourselves well.”

Henry’s team-mate Seydou Keita is also confident they can overturn a two-goal deficit.

“Let’s just say that we aren’t used to losing and so the 3-1 at San Siro was difficult to accept and to digest.”
