Henry in UEFA poll team

Arsenal and France striker Thierry Henry has been selected in the uefa.com users' team of the year for the fourth time in succession.

Henry has now been selected every year since the award's 2001 inception and was the only ever-present named in the 2004 team chosen by more than 1.2 million votes cast on UEFA's official website and revealed on Wednesday.

There are three players from Portugal -- midfielder Maniche and defender Ricardo Carvalho from Porto's Champions League-winning side and Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo.

Portugal's Jose Mourinho, who guided Porto to the European title before moving to Chelsea, is chosen as coach for the second successive year.

Henry is joined in attack by European Player of the Year Andriy Shevchenko. His AC Milan defensive colleague Alessandro Nesta is selected for the third year running, while Juventus pair Gianluigi Buffon and Pavel Nedved are honoured for the second year in a row.
