Thierry Henry

Jessica: Welcome Thank you It's a real pleasure to have, a footballer of your credentials, with us today. And I think, I don't think I'm overegging it when I say one of the iconic players of our time. And watching that video, laying out your glittering career before you how do you feel when you see that?

I'm just reminded of a quote by a man that you know quite well, Arsene Wenger, who described you as the greatest striker ever, the Michael Jordan of football Thierry Henry: Oh, I don't know about that Humble That's a, that's a big one. Did he say I was a pain in the neck also in the neck quote? No, he didn't No but no, when I.

First and foremost, hi, everyone. Sorry. But I you know, when I look at this is nothing is impossible. That's what I think of.

But nothing is impossible obviously because you have a group around you that makes it possible for you. That's what I think of. You know, at the beginning of my career you you tend to think about the I in the process because you need to make your way in a group sometime that was already formed, and you need to have an impact so.

And to try to find out who you can be and what player you can be. And then at the end of a career and throughout the career, you start to understand that without your mates you're, you're no one.

So when I look at this, although the pictures and they were my goals and stuff like that, but it reminds me of the whole process of it and how you can achieve stuff when everyone kind of trusts each other. And and that's something that's not, It's, it's, it's almost kind of a thing that people do not do anymore, especially in a group.

Being honest with each other is, it's very key. Having arguments, also is very key. It's healthy, as long as, it is for the cause of the group which means winning and getting trophies.

So that's what, that's what I think of when I see that Jessica: It is interesting. I've seen interviews with you before where you've said if a player scores a goal for their team but the team doesn't go on to win, those goals should be discounted Yeah That's incredible That's the point So it's nothing No, listen. Your personal success? Thierry Henry: Well, it's just something that you can share when you're done.

I kind of, bother my kids with that now with the goals that I used to score and stuff like that. But I think for me, one of the most important thing is did it matter in the game? Did did it matter?

Did it matter in the game? Sorry. That's, that's, that's what you're there for. You're there to score goals and win the game.

I wasn't interested at the end of a game of, if we lost a game and I was going to at least, you know, I scored two. No, scored two, they need to mean something in the game. And if it didn't mean anything, then even when, in all fairness, I did score goals and we won, I wasn't always happy.

Or shall I say satisfied. But yes, it's, it's discounted. I went a bit too far, but it's the, it's, it's an image that I always say that, "And you scored two, you lost 4-2.

What's the, what's the big deal out of that?" Incredible. Might sound harsh. Sorry. But keep you on your toes You're clearly a perfectionist then Well, I think, I don't know if everyone is, but that's.

I always, I say that you showed something yesterday, that doesn't mean it's gonna be the same on the day after. And so I always see it as it's a new race the day after. We're all on the same starting point.
