Mentality (01:30): Channeling his competitive spirit, being able to control his emotions (unlike Clint!), and the origin of the Pinturicchio nickname. Juventus (10:11): Learning from Di Baggio and Zidane, early challenges and setbacks, 19 years at the same club, young Thierry Henry, staying loyal despite relegation. Serie B (20:53): Battling back from the second division, forging tighter bonds with fans, witnessing Zidane’s infamous headbutt, winning the World Cup, crossing paths with Clint. Retirement (33:31): Coaching remains an option, open to returning to Juventus, analyzing the UEFA Champions League with CBS Sports. Hypothetical (43:58): Join Henry in the studio or on the sidelines?
