Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has played down his influence on Thierry Henry's successful career.
The on-loan New York Red Bulls striker is set to feature for the last time in Wednesday's Champions League clash at AC Milan and Wenger is keen for a final swan song from the Club legend.
"Everybody is different. Let's say with Thierry that I made him start in Monaco when he was 17.
"Then I brought him to Arsenal, then he went to Barcelona and then I brought him back to Arsenal so it is a little bit a three-times story, three chapters in the book.
"I think the history we have had together is special because you do not [usually] meet the same player three times.
"For me, first I hope it will be a positive emotion [on Wednesday]. But what is important is that we focus on the night because it is a massive game for us. Let's hope we have positive emotions there.""He would have done it without me," the Frenchman told arsenal.com. "I think that great players have one great characteristic - they will always surprise you with how far they can go. The motivation inside them is very big and they never have enough.
