One of the coldest players ever, he was cocky as fuck but he backed it up. Very complete player, Olympic speed in his prime, physically strong, great ball control, effortless dribbling, one of the best finishers ever but also dangerous from long range at the same time, great passers, he has the premier league record for most assists in one season, even though he was mainly known as a scorer and not a Playmaker, he was always smooth and composed. He was the type of striker that even legendary defenders were afraid of, he had that kind of effect on defenders. He's widely regarded as the greatest premier league player in modern history and one of the top 5 strikers in football history, unstoppable in his prime.

my guy you're the goat. king Titti "Thierry Henry" is my all time favorite player and is considered as the greatest player to ever play in the English league. the English league started their hall of fame I think a year ago and he was the first to be in it. he also has a statue outside the Arsenals stadium called the "emirates stadium " Henry was beast, every defender was terrified of his speed, strength, skill and finesse...when he went to Barca, he played with Messi and Messi said the first time he saw him he didn't dare look him in his face out of knowing that he was in the presence of a legend..this man got goals and assists for fun, he's the all time top scorer for Arsenal and France

Had the privilege of being a season ticket holder at Arsenal when he was playing for us, and he was world class.

Henry oozed class and elegance and he was a terror. That Arsenal Invincibles team played some of the most beautiful football ever.

Thierry Henry was most definitely a showboater and a elite dribbler he just had the productivity to go with it. The thing you need to understand about Henry. Was that, in his prime he was more than goalscoring striker. For example in Henry's best ever season in the Premier League he had amassed 20 assists despite not being a Playmaker! For context, It's been 19 seasons, the English game seems be more attacking/open and nobody has broken his record. There are only 2 weaknesses of Henry's game. The first being that he was somewhat poor in the air for someone 6ft2. The second being that he had a reputation of not being a "clutch" player as he had 0 goals in 9 cup finals. Overall thou his pros massively outweigh his cons. For me he was easily one of the best players in his generation despite the fact he never won the Ballon d'Or(got robbed). Which is crazy as the generation Henry played had for more world class players than today's game imo.

Henry is the best striker in premier league history. For me he’s the only player where for a solid 5 years I was actively scared to see him against my team. Absolute assassin man, he was going to score it just didn’t matter. And the thing is look where he’s collecting the ball… half of these clips start with him near the half way line running into / past 2-3 players. Violent baller.

Thierry is 1 of 3 players play in the Prem I have seen, that when they pick up the ball you can see the entire opposition shit themselves through their body language, Cristiano Ronaldo in his last 2 years at Man U, Suarez when he played for Liverpool and Henry for Arsenal at his peak, amazing player

Thierry will always be my fave player . Every game he done something that would just make you say wow! Great speed, skill ,balance control ,strength ,passing and shooting he was just a all round great great player

Ronaldinho and Henry were the reason I was obsessed with football as a kid. R9 too but me and my bro used to watch Dinho and Henry highlights every day after school. 24:33 that’s how you’re supposed to defend against really skilful players. Over committing will get you embarrassed with certain players. Especially if you’re a defender, if you get left for dead after rushing in you’ll leave your team exposed.

A pure thoroughbred. The explosive power and speed of an NFL wide-receiver married with the poise and grace of a god-damned ballerina.

He’s a legend . Always reminds me of Kobe Bryant. His personality is just 🧊. His journey was beautiful to watch.

Striker is about how far up the pitch you play as well as scoring goals. Like Zidane , Marradona, Gerrard, Scholes all scored goals but were midfielders more than Forwards , so some "goal scorers" are not Strikers, but they usually are, Henry was. All Strikers are Forwards, but not all Forwards are Strikers, Messi is not really a Striker although he is a Forward and a Goal Scorer. A Striker players usually Central (sometimes slightly to the left or right, left in Henry's case) and is the furthest player up the pitch in your starting or Defensive formation (the shape the team tries to be in when they dont have the ball, when you win the ball back of course now you are attacking so it becomes the starting formation for attack too) In Football you have Goalkeepers Defenders (Includes Center Backs, Fullbacks, and Wing Backs) Midfielders (Includes Defensive Mids, Box to box Mids, Attacking mids, Wingers, No10's, different types of playmaker midfielder ) Forwards (Includes, Wing Forwards, Center Forwards, Strikers, Second Strikers a.k.a "False 9's") A common Formation is 433 - which means 4 defenders, 3 Midfielders and 3 Forwards but you can have others 442, 451, 352, 361, 4231 (where the 2,3 means 2 defensive mids, and the 3 means 1 central attacking mid/number10 and 2 wingers who play wide and far up the pitch, Like WIng Forwards, but a Wingers job is more to create goals rather than score them like the WIng Forward) Wing Forwards - Mo Salah is a WIng Forward, usually fast , great dribblers , tricky players Center Forward- Lewandowski is a center forward usually strong and good all round game and usually good in the air Strikers- Usually the best at finishing fast and skill full, or at least have a really good touch Second Striker/False 9- Messi These are almost like no 10's but further up the pitch, they are not as far up the pitch as a normal striker, link play more and look to dribble into the goal scoring spaces rather than receive the ball in those places (like a normal striker or Center Forward does) These are simple breakdowns but I am missing out so many sub types of each of these, and also the blur between Center Forwards and Strikers, because certain players are kind of both , but some are very much one and not the other, Like Aguero is a Striker, but not a Center Forward. Cristioan Ronaldo is a Striker, and a Center Forward and used to be a Wing Forward, Messi is NOT a Striker, he s NOT a Center Forward but is a Second Striker /false 9 and used to be a WIng Forward. Henry Is a Center Fowrard , and also a kind of Wing Forward and you would have to say a Striker too I hope this makes sense. The problem is sometimes the terms are used incorrectly and also each of them has areas where they meet so you get players (usually quite good ones) that can play in 2 or more of these positions, sometimes even in every types (Steven Gerrard springs to mind, Box to Box Midfielder, but could play in Defence, Midfield and Forward, so you end up asking yourself "so what position is he?" lool)

Henry was so fast he always slow the defenders down and then takes off using his speed. He is a Legend coming from a Liverpool fan.

Now you should react to Dennis Bergkamp he was his partner in crime and Thierry said that he was the best player he played with.

I watch Thierry Henry my whole life here in America as a kid till he retired he’s one of the best in the world that ever play the game

My favorite soccer/football players of all times 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾Thierry Henry

The GOAT of the Premier League and top 5 strikers in the history of football. Won everything in the game and was the best player in the best team in premier league history “The Invincibles”. In his prime I was lucky enough to watch him. The stats are ridiculous and don’t tell the full story, best goal to game ratio in PL history, Arsenal (a top club with 130 year top flight history) top goal scorer ever, 4 time golden boot winner (top scorer in the PL) and x2 European golden boot winner AND HE HAS THE PREMIER LEAGUE SINGLE SEASON ASSIST RECORD. But then go gotta factor in he was just athletically superior, lightning quick, tall powerful remembering the PL is the most physical top flight league he was a BEAST. I can’t stress enough that with all this he also had THE SWAGGER mf was called VaVa Vooom lol The most elite baller Frances top ever goalscoer and PL HOF 1st inducty. 🐐

Incredible incredible player. The way he just flows past players with pace, strength AND amazing technique is very rare.

finally guys I've been telling you to watch him. In his prime he was the fastest footballer in the world, no matter with or without the ball. probably ever. maybe even till this day :)

He also recorded the top sprint speed out of any major sports league in the world at 39.2 km/hr, he glides through the pitch

in football its called ball retention. xavi,iniesta, zidane, pirlo, makalele, all had this ability. The one that did it the best is Juan Roman Riquelme . This dood was insane at holding off players and inviting them to a 1v1, 1v2, 1v3 etc. Underrated in the public eye because he did it before it got noticed. Truly ahead of his time like laudrup.

“Bully ball” is a thing in football. Some players like that shoulder to shoulder contact when in possession so they can bounce off a defender at the right moment and break away…

bergkamp and henry poetry in motion. Best tribute

I had the pleasure of watching Henry in his prime. His Arsenal team destroyed everyone in the league and finished Invincibles aka unbeaten in the league throughout the season. Man had the combination of exquisite skill and blistering pace.

Hé told once in a interview that he forced his back to pick the defender up and scored with that backheel kick, this man was genius

i love washing you brothers! therry henry was a fighter on the feald.

Henry was the best in the world for a spell, regularly going on unbelievable dribbles and beating 3 and 4 people regularly. Won everything. EVERYTHING.

Craziest thing about this comp is that he is doing this against the best defenders of that time making them look pedestrian. It was a wonder and joy to watch this guy in his prime in real time. Long Libe King Thierry.

Thierry Henry is my favourite player of all time and the reason I fell manically in love with Arsenal FC back in 2001 as a 6 year old. You guys mentioned basketball a few times and a fun fact is that he’s a massive fan of the San Antonio Spurs, which is extra funny since Arsenal’s biggest rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, is commonly knowned as “Spurs”. Great video!

You asked the question was he doing that regularly. I can answer from watching him play way before he turned pro. I grew up in Les Ulis and Thierry's parents were my neighbours therefore I'm more entitled to give you my opinion on his evolution as a player. Thierry always had technique in him but the most predominant characteristics of his game was the speed of execution and the precision of his final ball delivery. He used to tear defenders from the wing that's where he started his professional career as a winger and that's why he takes on players. People give props to Wenger for developing him but I'd say Jean Tigana at Monaco has more to claim for helping with changing his mentality into a more predatory instincts. Yes Thierry never dropped below 7/10 rating in games. Legend of the game

Thiery Henry is a legend. He is one of the best strikers the BPL has ever seen. He is 6’2 as well so for him to have the agility he had was rare.

We need the “ Kevin de bruyne, when football becomes art “ His passing on both foot will blow your mind!

Henry for many is considered the greatest PL ( English premiere league) player of all time and deservingly so . He was amazing a joy to watch with Arsenal , and then he moved to Barcelona and won everything, he played along Messi & Èto'o( another player you guys need to react to ) together with that one in a lifetime squad squad , they formed the greatest team of all time . And btw a striker is the guy who plays higher on the pitch and their first responsabilty is to score the goals , they usually hold the number 9 , for instance the brazillian Ronaldo was a striker and the GOAT of strikers ofc , players like Messi , Henry , are called forwards and wing players ,Ronaldo was like that back in Manchester unted but later years with Real madrid he became a striker and a goalscorer .

Henry was a pure scorer with speed, power, finesse! He was usually straight to the point. But, he also had the flare to show his skills when necessary!

You gotta know, France had this guy Henry and Zidane ...in the same team (as well as Petite, Viera, Dessailly, Pires all amazing legend status players)

There are only a few players in any sport that reach an elite level where they've not only figured out how to win but they're also putting on a show. Henry was not only out there to win but he was also having fun with it. He's the Premier League's version of Michael Jordan

i was waiting for this one Thierry Henry was a complete player with no weakness on his game now is dennis bergkamp

Context is super important. I wish you guys understood the magnitude of some of these clips. He's toying with some of the greatest defenders of all time like they're nothing. This man was once labeled the Michael Jordan of football. Absolutely unplayable. And to answer your question - Yes he is toying with them. He had the demeanor of a thief who was so smooth that you'd know what was coming but still couldn't stop it. As many would say.. "The game was over before it began."

Hallelujah!!! Reacting to premier league legends! Listen every kid who played football used to wanna be number14 and have their socks above their knees thinking we was Henry haha. Different gravy he was and I’m not even an arsenal fan. The team he played for arsenal was doing all that tiki taka before it even had a name! They just knew where each other was gonna be. They were called the invincibles back in early 2000’s, went a whole season without losing, plus it was I the premier league were every game is losable on any given day!….now another prem legend…..Steven Gerrard!!

gloves are like accessories like sleeves and compression shorts in basketball. Also its usually cold in europe because the seasons go from fall to late spring/early summer. I personally also like the look.

Henry is the best sticker in todays EPL history, I'm an Arsenal supporter and growing up watching him play for my team for many years, it was amazing he is also an Arsenal Invincible.

This guy is the Kobe Bryant of Football. Lewandowski said his idol was this guy. This guy is the greatest ever Premier League player because he was more dominant than Ronaldo in the Premier League.

Yeah there are some forwards who like the physical contact. Usually they’re big men (like Drogba), but some are smaller like Hazard (before Madrid) - always drawing fouls or waiting for the defender to make contact before he spins them.

Noti gang! Henry was a magnificent player, glad you guys are reacting to him. An Arsenal and France legend and one of the best strikers of all time

Gloves are optional. It can either be for cold or for fashion. Just like longsleeves, short/long socks, and or course crazy haircuts

Oh yeah he was really good. One of the greatest at his position

Henrys dribbling was elite but he didn't need to use many skills, he would mainly get passed players with his speed, agility, smart thinking and close control. Didnt use alot of skills.

One of the very best, i was lucky to grow up on this dude's reign. One of the last great footballers, before money and feasibility completetly took over.

He was an elite and good close skills ball control what that means you have players who can run and shoot and some who are good in tight spaces with the ball he had both but focuses mostly on speed when young as he got older he relied on finding spaces and using close dribbling skills

He was the best player to ever play in the Premier league did it every week

HENRY #14 . Was a Problem. I remember him and Ronaldinho battling it out for Player of Year. Can u react to Franl Ribery - When Football becomes Art

You guys gotta go over the positions. For each position there’s a “type” of playstyles that you can be. If you guys play fifa you’ll learn REALLY quick by looking at player stats, positions, and how it influences the game. Just like 2K where’s there’s hella “build types”, there’s even more for football because there’s more positions.

Elite dribbling skills. And yes he did it in big games.

Best player to ever play in the Premier League and thats fax

He played liked this week in week out ! The best player to ever play in the English prem.

He was the coolest cat in football. He was also teammates with Messi and the 2008-09 Barcelona team , might be the greatest club team of all time , they were so dominant. Won every trophy , a front three of Thierry Henry , Eto and Messi being fed passes by Xavi and Iniesta. It was basically a dream team.

IMO the best player to ever put an arsenal shirt and hes the one that made me fall in love with this sport

You're right Kidd, he is one of the legends.

I remember as a kid we have to work sometimes on the Computer in school but i always looked up Highlights from my top 3 players Cristiano Ronaldo Ronaldinho Thierry Henry It's sad today because players only care about money but our Legends they played different Like Kobe our MJ with passion I miss this kind of players is very rare today

22:00 yeh You get that in football too Drogba, Battistuta , Ibrahimovic all love/loved the Bully ball style, So Big Center Forwards/Strikers, do that Power Foward type thing, the Shaq approach, run over them with a Truck who can finish basically. Henry was not a Bully ball style player...BUT he was strong and hold others off the ball. You do have some 1 on 1 stuff in Football, "Man Marking" which is based on 1 on 1 can work and is a style that is used to defend, but there is usually a blend of Zonal and sometimes a man will be put on a star player to mark /defend them out of the game. But sometimes you get entire teams do it (and it used to be the standard approach only 20 years ago)

The guy has a statue of himself outside the emirates stadium.... Yeah, he's a legend

Guys you HAVE to react to "Steven Gerrard- A Complete Midfielder" Apart from Zidane you haven't done a Midfirlder and this will give you a great perspective about the many duties of a Midfielder and they shoe how the player called Steven Gerrard excels at all of them hence why is debt as the "complete midfielder".

He and Zidane, French Dons 🇫🇷. Keeping it smooth 🧈 …

My man the one and only THE KING TH14

Damnnn two videos in one hour . Thats firee 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Been waiting for this!!

Henry is the 🐐 I got him on my wall in my dorm right now💪🏾keep reacting to videos from this channel ASComps, he makes the best!

henryyyy, barely started watching soccer when he was gettin in his older years but i am glad to have witnessed the man play, great reaction from the brothers

Him and Zidane beat and knock out my favorite Brazilian team in 2006 world cup , man I hated them for while. But man Henry is one of the best striker and legend in the game.

Yes it’s about time fam

He's the best striker of all time in premier League even with Ronaldo at his peack at Manchester United but Thierry Henry was always one step ahead and he's world cup winner and European champion with France!

From a Chelsea fan. This guy is the premier league goat.

Nice reaction guys, new sub! Henry is my favorite player of all time :D

He is the reason I Love Soccer, He is the reason I Love the best Club He played for #ARSENAL

My favorite forward growing up💪. Was unstoppable at one point.

One of the very few players who have won both champions league and the world cup 🙌🙌🙌

Its all about timing bro.. He knows exactly when he should running, dribling, striking, every move is one step ahead..

Yerrrrrrrrrr that’s it

Henry is a legend one of my all time favourites. You need to react to Luis Figo too he is another legend he played for real and barca

He was the striker for the only team to get the invincible title (no loses in Premier league (Hardest league) season). Greatest Prem Striker ( yes including CR7) Fun fact: in either Fifa or PES or both he had 99 finishing lmao the man was a joke even game developers maxed out his stats

Holy i love your description of Thierry Henry!

Yesssirrr great reaction

Keep up the good work! Bless from Sweden

idk how I missed this but thank you for reacting to my favourite player of all time 🤝 love your channel keep going

A legend of the game without a doubt!

Love the video keep it up

On the comment of actively seeking contact like in basketball there's only one player that really comes to mind and that's the Belgian Mousa Dembele. There's a couple of compilations out there but none that really do him justice, nonetheless he's a really fun watch so I'd recommend checking him out. His ball retention was insane, probably the best there ever was while also being able to dribble silky smooth. The man had a 90% dribbling succes rate while the rest of the top dribblers were 15-20% behind him. I honestly believe he would be in the goat category if he went to a proper team with a great trainer at a young age.

Favorite reaction channel for sure

For the fall thing it depends, in basketball its much more noticeable and players dont fall that often, its usually after an ankle breaker or cross etc. But in football its different, first its a sport with much more contact than basketball, players are constantly under pressure from the other team so when they fall after an aerial duel for example its not much of a deal but now if you fall after getting dribbled, tackled or nutmegged then its humiliating

he played for Arsenal for 9 years and it was worth paying to watch him alone will never forget Portsmouth fans giving him a standing ovation after he destroyed em.

he was doing this all the time guys and is a football legend, so much so there is a statue of him at Arsenal football stadium

Thanks for reacted to Henry videos.

Seeing you guys really enjoying the beauty that comes with the greatest Thierry really bring a tear to my eyes!! wish everyone can experience this!!!

Yall just gotta do more of these they fire

Yes. He would do this stuff in proper important matches. Prime Henry is Top 3 all time.

Fast as fkk, technical with a lethal instinct for goal. He was a pain to meet as a rival fan in the late 90th early 2k😉 No doubt a legend ✌🏽

In England if you score the most goals out of any players you get awarded the golden boot. from 2001 to 2006 Henry won 4 in 5 years and 3 in a row. He literally was levels above anyone.

Y’all gotta do a Thierry Henry BARCELONA career highlights vid.. Thats one big reason how lucky Messi is and why he got so much skills coz of getting to play with Ronaldinho and Henry in his developing stage !

Didier Drogba was a great striker who was known for bullying teams physically

This is the greatest premier league player ever. You’ll notice every clip here is a goal. Not often highlights have this many goals. Usually it’s just skulls
