Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has expressed his frustration and anger over the reduction of his physical stats in his Thunderstruck Icon card on EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Team.
Known for his lightning speed, strength, and agility on the football pitch, Henry was taken aback when he saw his physicality rating reduced to 80.
In a recent interview on CBC Sport, the former French international voiced his discontent, stating, “Physical 80 – are you mad?! Passing – they don’t respect me! Hell no! I’m 90 [physicality], you can ask them, when I had the ball, they couldn’t get it off.”
Henry’s reaction is understandable, considering his immense contribution to the game and the physical prowess he demonstrated throughout his career. As one of the most lethal strikers in football history, he relied not only on his technical skills but also on his physical attributes to outmuscle defenders and create goal-scoring opportunities.
Physica should reflect his dominance on the field, where his sheer power and speed made him virtually unstoppable.
EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Team is known for its attention to detail and accuracy in replicating players’ abilities, so fans are hopeful that the developers will address this issue and restore Henry’s physical stats to a more fitting level.
Thierry Henry’s legacy as an Arsenal legend and his impact on the game cannot be undermined, and it is only fair that his virtual representation in the gaming world reflects his true abilities.
