Thierry Henry
French football player who currently plays as a striker for the French national team and for Red Bull New York.
"The first day that he came into the dressing room, I did not dare to look him in the face. I knew everything that he had done in England."
"The word 'great' is overused but in Thierry's case it is absolutely true."
When it's his day, Thierry can score a hat-trick with ease. He's amazing.
What I believe is this: Catalunya is not Spain, it is something else and you have to feel it.
There's nothing I'm scared of in football.
I've seen most things in this league in the last 25 years. I haven't seen anything like him. I said at the beginning of the game that he was special, he's more then that, he's irreplaceable.
I eat football, I sleep football, I breathe football. I'm not mad, I'm just passionate.
It's not about me, it's about how I can help my team to achieve more. And I do that through scoring goals.
I would love this place to be my garden.
Sometimes in football you have to score goals.
You can be ruthless by playing football and one-touch football. Sometimes we get confused between desire and playing football. There is a fine line and sometimes we could pass the ball to each other a bit better. Football is a team effort and sometimes when you're not playing well together you need to go back to basics and play as a team.
And then there is the magnificent Thierry Henry - someone who has blistering pace and is unbelievable when he is finishing at his best.
A lot of different races and nationalities play football, so it is a good way to try and stop racism.
You don’t let a guy put his hand on your chest, and put his foot on the ball and look into your eyes and tell you a bedtime story. No. sorry.
Henry is a beautiful player and has got complete technique, I adore watching him. I respect him very much as a man and as a footballer. He reminds me of myself.
At times we forget that football is a team effort, a team game and not a solo show game. Sometimes we just don't respect the game. I love my game, but sometimes you need to please the people around you also, and pass the ball to them. At times during games we forget about team-mates in better positions while we try and force our way in, rather than pass to players in better positions around the box. That is something I'm thinking about more.
"Next time I'll learn to dive maybe, but I'm not a woman."
You can never have enough trophies. If there were ten to be won a year I'd want to win them all! That's not being greedy, it's just a natural thing.
He controlled the ball on his chest, step on it, look, see if someone was in the stands, take a coffee, turn, call his family, no one was answering, left a message, and then thought "Oh, I might cross the ball." He crossed it and they scored.
