  • Introduction to Video Content
  • In the video titled 'Thierry Henry on the genius of Kevin de Bruyne!', former professional football player Thierry Henry shares his thoughts on Kevin de Bruyne's exceptional talent and intelligence in the game. Henry acknowledges that it is still early in the UEFA Champions League competition, but he believes that de Bruyne has already made a significant impact. Although de Bruyne may not have had a spectacular performance in a particular game, he managed to score a crucial goal, highlighting his importance to the team. Henry emphasizes the distinction between the most valuable player and the most important player, stating that de Bruyne holds the latter title for his team. Having witnessed and played alongside numerous talented players, Henry sings high praises for de Bruyne, highlighting his extraordinary brain and game vision. According to Henry, de Bruyne's ability to read the game and make intelligent decisions sets him apart from other players. The former Arsenal star mentions that there are moments when de Bruyne's thought process is so exceptional that it almost seems as if he operates on a different level. Henry notes that this can also pose a challenge for teammates who may struggle to match de Bruyne's brilliance. In Henry's opinion, de Bruyne is the smartest player he has ever seen. He reminisces about their time together in the Belgian national team and describes de Bruyne as someone who is not only immensely talented but also someone you grow fond of due to his dedication to perfection. Henry shares an anecdote about de Bruyne's perfectionism, recounting how he would get upset if someone moved his pen even slightly. This attention to detail reflects de Bruyne's drive for excellence. As Henry further explains, de Bruyne's exceptional brain and thinking ability are only second to none. The admiration for de Bruyne extends beyond his footballing skills, but also to his personality and dedication to his craft. Henry brings up the comparisons between de Bruyne and iconic midfielders Xavi and Iniesta, who achieved tremendous success with the Spanish national team and their clubs. He raises the question of whether winning major trophies, such as the World Cup, Euros, and Champions League, is a requirement to be considered the greatest player. Overall, this video provides an insightful and glowing tribute to the genius and unique intelligence of Kevin de Bruyne.
  • Subtitles section
  • I mean it's still early doors because you still have a return leg but he showed up today not only by passing the ball.
  • I don't think he had a great game but he had an important goal.
  • This is why I mentioned about most valuable and most important player and I think he's still the most important player on this team.
  • But I have to say I came across a lot of players, played with a lot of players, saw a lot of players play against some of the greatest.
  • I think Kevin, his brain is the best that I've seen.
  • Brain, we're not talking about the way he sees the game and this is why we were talking about it a bit before.
  • Because his brain is in some places I don't know what he thinks about sometimes.
  • You look at him and it's almost like he's not with us if you know what I mean because he's that good and sometimes it can be a problem because you're not on his level.
  • But I think he's the most clever player I've seen in my life.
  • We're talking about the brain.
  • He's just second to none the way he thinks.
  • And you know why also?
  • Because I saw him for six years on and off of Belgium.
  • He also a bit more kind of… you love the man a bit more if you know what I mean.
  • Because I saw stuff that he did in training and in games and yes at times it was driving him crazy because he's a perfectionist.
  • And perfectionists don't like if the pen is here and you move it it's not well.
  • Like he would look at the pen and say don't touch my pen.
  • And you put it back and say don't touch my pen again.
  • You know what I mean?
  • Those guys are not… it's unbelievable.
  • You played with two of the best midfield players I think in the history of the game in terms of Xavi and Iniesta.
  • Now they won World Cup, Euros, Champions League.
  • Now do you think the greatest players, as I've just said, have to win that?
  • Or it can just be you judging players on their ability and what they do season after season?
  • Or do you think the real greats have to be defined by a tournament in terms of Euros or World Cup and the Champions League?
  • It helps Jimmy and usually those players win that.
  • It rarely happens that those players don't win that apart if they're not playing maybe in a national team where they can.
  • And you can understand why.
  • But you mentioned two players there.
  • Again I go back to the same thing.
  • Lionel Messi was getting the accolades and rightly so.
  • Samuel Eto'o was outstanding.
  • Ronaldinho.
  • I played in that team.
  • Some other players.
  • But the most important players were Xavi and Iniesta.
  • They were making a stick.
  • We have to go.
  • We have to stop.
  • Now we go.
  • Now we are them.
  • And what were the stats?
  • You can also bring stats.
  • What were the stats of Andres Iniesta at the end of the season?
  • Four goals.
  • Five assists.
  • But man we needed him.
  • Xavi also.
  • Not a lot.
  • But when they were not there we were not the same teams.
  • And trust me with quality, with pace, with power we had maybe better players.
  • More valuable players.
  • Guys with assists and goals at will.
  • But those guys were the most important players.
  • But to go back to what you were saying.
  • Yes it helps.
  • Yes it solidifies your legacy.
  • But I do think also legacy is about what you transmit and how you transcend people.
  • And Kevin De Bruyne is one of those players.
  • We talked about Thomas Müller the other day.
  • You can be De Bruyne.
  • It's difficult to be Messi.
  • It's difficult to be Zidane.
  • It's difficult to be Ronaldinho.
  • You need some type of skills.
  • Those guys had a conversation with God.
  • What did you say to me and you God?
  • But you know what I mean.
  • You can be Kevin.
  • And Kevin is brain.
  • I'm still thinking about some stuff that I've seen.
  • He's just on a different planet.
  • And it wasn't his best game tonight.
  • But he delivered.
  • You still have a game at the ATL though.
