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.
Young people forget old people.
Henry has been retired as long as Pele was when I started watching football.
If it was people who watched his peak - his Barcelona days do not do him full justice - that’s different.
But you’re talking about people who were kids when he played. Videos and stats only tell half the story without the context of the circumstances at the time.
A time will come where people look at Messi and Ronaldo the same way we look at Puskas, Eusebio and Di Stefano
