"Ronaldinho is a special player, but Thierry Henry is probably technically the most gifted footballer ever to play the beautiful game."

“There's nothing I'm scared of in football.”

“I take the ball, I go wide, I cross, I shoot, but when the moment beckons, I am ready to make the difference.”

“Next time I'll learn to dive maybe, but I'm not a woman.”

“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.”

“A lot of different races and nationalities play football, so it is a good way to try and stop racism.”

“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.”
