Henry only wore 12 and 14 jerseys. Henry's national team is 12, while the club team has always been 14, which is related to idols Van Basten and cruyff.

Henry chose 12 in the national team because one of his idols, Basten, used this number in Euro 88, and chose 14 in the club because another idol football godfather, cruyff, wore 14 jersey in his career.

Extended data:

In the French national team, Henry wears 12 from beginning to end, which is a harmless number and never wears No.9, a symbol of striker. In this regard, Henry explained that 12 is the number that the idol Van Basten wore at the 1988 European Cup, so he only wants to wear 12.

As for the number 14 he wore at Arsenal, it was only because when he first came to the team, 12 was already owned by someone, leaving only 14 to choose from. I never thought Henry would make this number shine.

Later he moved to Barcelona and chose the number 14. Even though Barca 14 was shrouded in a spell for a long time after cruyff, Henry was fearless and lifted the seal for this number with excellent performance.
