Under appreciated by young fans?(under 20 or so)

I’ve noticed some young (Ronaldo) fans who call Henry a “Pace Merchant” or that he only had pace and was a average striker etc… usually between the ages of 10-13/14

Is Thierry Henry becoming under rated recently? Or is this just noise from CR7 or Tottenham Fanboys.

    Henry is the most overated player in the sports history imo amongst English speakers.

    I grew up watching him, he was a phenomenal striker but people particularly British people under 30 put him on a pedestal his performances just didn’t warrant and group him with much better players who achieved much more in the game.

    It’s Nostaliga as Henry was in his pomp when a lot of young people got into the game
