Going back through the annals of soccer history, who can confidently say that they can surpass Henry in terms of back control, long distance running, pace with the ball and scoring? Very few. When it comes to glory, Henry holds trophies from the World Cup, European Cup, Confederations Cup, Champions League, English Premier League and La Liga, and his charisma has attracted countless fans, even the soccer world's netizen, Li Yi, has imitated his ball-guarding skills.
There are those who question Henry's achievements simply because he never won the Ballon d'Or, or believe he is a product of the Arsenal system. But these people are clearly trapped in the "impressionistic" misunderstanding. Henry at Arsenal, Barcelona and the French national team, have been the core of the team, with outstanding performance. Failure to win the Ballon d'Or, perhaps just not the right time.
At Arsenal, Henry witnessed the "double" and "undefeated season" glory, won the Golden Boot in the Premier League five times, entered the Champions League final, but also a person in both the top scorer and the top assists. Such achievements, so that he has been at the forefront of the Golden Ball Award every year.
In Barcelona, Henry as a member of the "six champions", although not Messi, Harvey and Iniesta's absolute core, but as a left winger, he can always bring surprises, is the team's best scorer, in the fight against Real Madrid and Bayern and other strong teams, but also had a heavenly performance.
In the French national team, Henry was the team's all-time leading scorer, perfectly complementing Zinedine Zidane. From the 1998 World Cup to the 2006 World Cup, Henry excelled almost every year, and even finished second in the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or.
Although the core of the French team is Zinedine Zidane, Henry's performance is not as bleak as the "impressionistic stream" described. Between 2000 and 2006, Henry had the opportunity to compete for the Ballon d'Or almost every year, and his highlights are a testament to his strength.
Senior fan Bin summarized, Henry's popularity is not because of the world of soccer, but because he has both strength and charm. In the history of French soccer, Henry is the second person after Platini, but also the strongest European players who have not won the Ballon d'Or. He is undoubtedly the strongest striker between the "post-Ronaldo era" and the "Melo Double Pride era".
