“The most skillful is Thierry Henry, he has impressed me the most. He's played a great tournament(Euro '00). He has the pace of Anelka, and the sense of Trezeguet. He's got something that no French player has ever had. He can do everything: from scoring goals, to giving assists, crossing and creating space for other players, and he fights for every ball. I've never see a player in France like him” GivingFightingGoalCan DoSpacePlayerCreatingBallsFrancePaceImpressedTournamentsCrossingsEuroSkillfulScoring Goals Author:Michel Patini
