HARRISON, N.J. — Thierry Henry clearly is thrilled to be a New Yorker. In fact, he’s so eager to adopt the big city lifestyle that he rode the cramped, sweaty PATH train from Manhattan, where he’s staying in a hotel, out to this industrial Jersey suburb on the Passaic River ahead of his Thursday night debut in a Major League Soccer uniform. The PATH is no place for a prima donna.
“It was the quickest way to come to the game,” he said. “I was on the train with my friends, with all the fans. It was quite an experience. It was the quickest way to come, so that’s how I came. It was cool.”
Once he arrived at Red Bull Arena, he gave New Yorkers every reason to be just as thrilled to have him. Within minutes of the start of an exhibition game between the Red Bulls and England’s Tottenham Hotspur, which qualified to play in this season’s UEFA Champions League, Henry demonstrated his ability to find the ball and shape the course of a match. He’d been practicing with his new teammates for less than a week, but he fit in right away.
