Henry played with Zidane, Xavi, Iniesta, Vieira, Yaya Toure and whatnot but he thinks Kevin has the best brains is a BIG compliment.

I believe KdB sees 10 seconds into the future. That’s how he makes those incredible passes.

KDB is one of the best midfielders of our time. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves

Kevin de bryune is someone who has mastered his art He is so damn confident with his skills The greatest Midfielder of this century according to me

Thierry Henry is an epitome of class.

Thierry Henry- Once a legend, always a legend. Mad respect for how he played the game, thinks about it, and articulates it.

the way everyone just listens to thierry speak wow

Henry is special. The way they listen when he speaks. And then he says something so profound that Jamie and Micah had to explode some emotion.

Wow pure class this is absolutely amazing. Someone who sees and understands the importance.

Kevin De Bruyne is also a skiller. He has it in his locker and many people don't even know. He's so underrated.

What Henry is trying to say, is that Kevin is an enlightened football player.

3:13 Spot on TT. Legacy is about what you transmit and how you transcend. KDB is arguably one of the best footballers of this decade.

That confirms why De Bruyne struck me as frustrated when playing with his team in the World Cup. I was looking forward to seeing how Belgium fared with him, and it looked like on a handful of occasions he was waiting for his team to catch up with him. With his mind, apparently. That is a mark of someone special. ( No disrespect to Belgium. What could have been if Lukaku played throughout. ) De Brain

I love hearing Thierry talk about footbal, i love it, and just look at the other pundits, quiete, listening, no interruption, they are the same. Henry, what a Legend.

Big praise from probably the most talented cf the premier league has ever seen.

The man make passes which many players won't even know are there and out of some who see it very few have the skill and technique to execute them.Then there is goalscoring quality with either leg. These type of players are very rare. Have been watching him since wolfsburg. Man is so talented and a joy to watch..

Fortunate to have watched KDB live, it was the Man City Sevilla game, and he was rested, we were at 1-1, he comes on and within 3 minutes produces the best pass i’ve ever seen with my own eyes and Alvarez finishes it, best midfielder in premier league history imo

Henry was a magical player. You don’t get many of them. Great ability and made you appreciate things about the game that no other player could demonstrate. The way he talks about Kevin…I also used to feel similarly about Fabregas in his pomp

The vision KDB possesses is something from an other world

I was lucky enough to see Kevin live and you could see he was on another level

Ive always said KDB sees passes that can only be seen if you were a watching the broadcast of the game on TV, almost impossible to see such things on the pitch and execute it with such nuance and perfection unless you are genius and he certainly is

Kevin has been on fire since Wolfsburg. Used to love watching him in the league

This panel is so fantastic when it gets into this mode. Just great work.

This is how a class player recognises a brilliant player 👏

When Theirry Henry was presented with Premeir league's Footballer of the Year award, being introduced as a player whose helped made the PL what it is, on the MIC he said the PL had made him. It's so good when Top-Top footballers don't just retire and disappear from the game, but are managers and are voicing their opinions on our screens. What a signing he was for us/PL, he's as elegant and classy on the TV as he was on the green grass.

Every word Henry said was spot on. Well said.

DeBruyne is a hybrid of Beckham + all the best crosser/passers in the world. And hes perfect on both feet (nobody is as consistent as him with both feet) and somebody please pull up his shot to goal ratio from outside the box. Never seen him sky the ball.

Tt forget he is one of those guys that had that conversation with God!! The dude is such a humble footballer for someone who bless with unbelievable talent. But i do agree Ronaldinho was hand chosen by God, the greatest player ever imo. He will always be my favorite

I was watching his pre-game analysis on KDB and he mentioned that he can get frustrated on occasion when things don't work out the way he sees them. During the game, Madrid beat their press a few times, but this one time they did and I could see Kevin on the edge of the screen raising his hands in frustration. Next thing you know the ball gets to Karim in a very dangerous area of the box. You usually associate that kind of vision with managers who are on the sideline. Kevin has it on the pitch. Thierry is absolutely spot on with his analysis. I think CBS are lucky to have him tbh.

Love Thierry speaking over players❤❤

When Henry is speaking everyone become silent to listing, he is a legend speaking about another legend

And then there are ‘connaisseurs’ saying KDB never shows up in big games. Total BS. His best games are against PSG, Liverpool, Real, Arsenal, Bayern, etc. He carries us to a CL final before, where Rudiger just knocked him off the pitch. Kevin really is special, and if Henry says so, we all should listen. It’s that simple.

When he says "The Brain" it sounds like "De Bruyne" lol

Dam i think this is the best take ive ever heard about football ever

This is so refreshing to the ear and soul! Brilliant analysis❤

So glad these OGs are back to entertain us. Will be very sad when it all ends on 10th June for the season. Best lineup in sports BY FAR. I hope Jamie talks a lot about INTERNAZIONALE tomorrow. 😂

I've said this before, but people still don't quite get why him and Haaland are so scary together- people even keep spouting nonsense about how Haaland only scores so many because De Bruyne is so good with the assists. The fact is, Henry is absolutely right, De Bruyne sees things on a pitch that almost nobody else can see- and Haaland does the same thing. That's why Haaland gets so many tap-ins, or finds himself unmarked so often; hes a genius at reading the pitch, he can be stood in the box and realise that if he moves 6 inches to the left, he'll be more likely to score because of the positions of the other players. So having 2 players who both have that gift- one of them a world class passer and one of them a world class finisher- is why they're so effective, sometimes it's like those two are playing a completely different game to everyone else.

Xavi and Iniesta got the interview with God. Jamie and Mica still waiting in reception xD

WOW if anyone else made that claim it would come out unqualified and inarticulate but Henri is CLASS

Kevin is still underrated in my opinion. But it will change when City win the CL in few weeks. Kevin will be the star player. It’s long overdue Kevin, don’t blow this one.

Was eine Ehre von so ner Legende 🐐🐐

Henry analysts is spot on you can work hard train hard do the right things and be a de brunye or a cr7 but Messi xavi bergkamp these guys were blessed natural talent gifted

We need a Thierry Henry football podcast

It's hard to win any of these tournaments and leagues. A lot of great players have won and lost some. We can't forget the actual play they did in their matches. Kevin is outstanding and will be remembered with or without trophies

Love Thierry’s analysis!

The watch ..the timepiece Mr Henry is exquisite !, I have never commented on anything before but that watch..breath taking

Thierry Henry is clearly at a different level than the rest of the panel…

I love listening to this guy.

probably the best analysis Thiery Henry has done on a player since he joined CBS. Incredible football mind. Amazing player and amazing analyst with a beautiful understanding of the game. Best video analysis by far.

2:28 spot on! this is why you never focus on the stats when we talk about midfielders. they are the heart that keeps the team alive. so you focus on the control that they have. that's what makes players like KDB, Xavi, Iniesta, Modric etc so important.

Henry man love how he speaks

Henry was the assistant manager for belgium, hence he knows kdb more than a player perspective.

Well said Legend T Henry Kdb is super genius

Such a deep thinker! No wonder he is Thierry!

I agree with Henry. I remember KdB from one of his first national matches for Belgium. Amazing player also then

To be honest, I fear this new world that I have found myself in. Requires the very best version of myself.

Love Henry analysis

It's of no coincidence that when the legs of Xavi & Iniesta went,not only did Barcelona's dominance end, but so to did Spain's.

Thierry Henry is supercool.

De bruyne 😍

Would love to see those training sessions 🙏🏼

KDB hitting the ball as hard as possible at Courtois, almost as if there’s some animosity between them.

Seeing this vid again after several months and after the return of KDB in the match MCI against Newcastle ( januari 2024) , it is easy to understand that explanation of Th.Henri. How the game really changed when KDB stepped into the field , as a truly stage-commander and delivering it.

i never seen playmaker like KDB, he's fast, he is strong, he's everywhere, passing the ball from every angle, it's confused me how on earth Belgia missed any trophy all these years, however there's one players that actually similiar and can be as good as KDB, and that's TAA.

kevin+pep = lethal combo of football and brains

so he's Kevin de Braine now

KDB good player and his version with the ball is out of this world

Henry is 100% right. As for me, Kevin is the best brain I have ever seen, unless those who never watch City games. He is always shinning when playing big teams. When playing against Paris, people fear Messi & Mbappe. But when playing City, people only fear Kevin because he is the engine.

When Henry speaks, you listen, that's the kind of fella he is.

Sometimes I think there are 3 hosts in this show 😂, the way they ask TT questions 😂

I think if you let him talk, De bruyne he could be one of the greatest manager in football when he retires...

Messi usually hits under the ball (back spin like chip) to an area right next to the keeper. Debruyne "consistently" whips (which is power and curves) the ball exactly to the players feet from long ranges with PRECISE WEIGHT on the ball (which makes it so much easier for the receiver) CONSISTENTLY. Thats almost impossible to do.

Thierry Henry is so intelligent. Class🚁🚁🚁

Finally someone said it..

True talk Henry their his a kind of mind set he has that makes him different. U saw something that is deficult to explain about kelvin

I totally agree, KDB is a mad man on the pitch 😂

Let's make this simple; There are players who won't have ridiculous numbers of assists and goals but they make the entire team play well and effectively. Kevin De Bruyne makes a team attack with a simple visual scan of the pitch.

What a great compliment. 👌

I think Messi is the most clever, honestly he's mastered the game. He plays as if he's watching it from birds eye view, he's got absolutely everything meaning vision, passing, scoring, stats, dribbles and he knows when to do it and nearly every game he gets man of the match 🔥 the problem that Messi has is that he's been doing it for so long that it's normal to everyone now but when someone like De Bruyne does half of what he does it's all headlines.. Internationally you can't talk about De Bruyne being the most clever because Messi just outshined him with his magic and intricate passage of play at the highest level of the game... He really is a true GOAT of football and this is coming from a CR7 fan 🏆

For me the most complete midfielder I've ever seen. Passing, shooting, pace, clutch the ultimate greatest midfielder of all time like Haaland if he keeps this level for 7 years or longer like Kevin

Kevin with his Messi like walking while play goin on walk into the right position ball pass to him he shoots in a Messi like position with his right foot and scored. The only two players with 94 n up vision fr

KDB is an impactful player and he is so important for City and Belgium!! He deserves to compared to the likes of Kaka, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Baggio, and among other CM/CAM!! He is simply sensational in reading the game of football!!

Roberto Baggio Waz a. Very good footballer

When the MSM made an announcement recently that King Kev was almost back from injury there was rumoured to be a collective groan from rivals dressing rooms. They knew. They knew what that meant for them. When he limbered up on the touchline against Huddersfield the City faithful almost lifted the stadium roof off with their response. I've been blessed to see some incredible players do incredible things at City. Kev is easily up there with them.

Kevin will be a great manager

The lady is on silent mood because the king is spitting some wisdom. Facts she was shocked

De Bruyne have lost so many Champions league games prior that now. He is now mature and evolve.

I think the point he was trying to make about Xavi and Iniesta is that they didnt have the goals or assists but they were still the most valuable players. KDB is the most valuable player in the same way as Xavi and Iniesta were, but he ALSO has the goals and assists season in, season out. Once in a lifetime player

still to me KDB is yet to be reach Xavi and Iniesta bracket period. They were Monsters, as Real Madrid fun, I always cry after we are done with El Clasico😢

Facts! Man can see the future! Debruyne is a Genius with verry high IQ, imagination and intuïtion.

Henry talking about Iniesta makes me happy.

loving Thierry Henry's views on soccer and players, especially coming from a great player like he was..

I totaly agree with Henry.

A lot of soccer intellect from henry

Given the players he has played with, this is an insane compliment wow. Now, the crazy thing is in city squad there’s one player that is arguable smarter than him, which is gundo and I’m telling you as a city fan who has never missed a match since pep has become our manager, gundo is absolutely insane but so is kdb but gundo in terms of making decisions is actually better

agree with Henry，best brain

Professors to study KDB's brain at Havard and Nsukka

KDB deserves to be on Ballon d'or podium atleast.

Ya now we know why Pep got him. Henry on the other hand. The man is seeing things and Jamie is just seeing trophies. Micah is always set on comic relief zone.

when the king talks you listen
