Henry played with Zidane, Xavi, Iniesta, Vieira, Yaya Toure and whatnot but he thinks Kevin has the best brains is a BIG compliment.

[whiskeyricard]

I believe KdB sees 10 seconds into the future. That’s how he makes those incredible passes.

[Saf_Shares]

Thierry Henry- Once a legend, always a legend.

Mad respect for how he played the game, thinks about it, and articulates it.

[bfox]

KDB is one of the best midfielders of our time. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves

[mike]

the way everyone just listens to thierry speak wow

[abdulqaadir]

Henry is special. The way they listen when he speaks. And then he says something so profound that Jamie and Micah had to explode some emotion.

[samarthbagwe]

Kevin de bryune is someone who has mastered his art
He is so damn confident with his skills
The greatest Midfielder of this century according to me

[levarallen]

Wow pure class this is absolutely amazing. Someone who sees and understands the importance.

[MAT-wnfr]

Kevin De Bruyne is also a skiller. He has it in his locker and many people don't even know. He's so underrated.

[foylad]

What Henry is trying to say, is that Kevin is an enlightened football player.

[SydPeppa]

3:13 Spot on TT. Legacy is about what you transmit and how you transcend. KDB is arguably one of the best footballers of this decade.

[smileyscrubs]

I love hearing Thierry talk about footbal, i love it, and just look at the other pundits, quiete, listening, no interruption, they are the same. Henry, what a Legend.

[paulbarton-ozmw]

Big praise from probably the most talented cf the premier league has ever seen.

[machtnichtsseimann]

That confirms why De Bruyne struck me as frustrated when playing with his team in the World Cup. I was looking forward to seeing how Belgium fared with him, and it looked like on a handful of occasions he was waiting for his team to catch up with him. With his mind, apparently. That is a mark of someone special. ( No disrespect to Belgium. What could have been if Lukaku played throughout. ) De Brain

The man make passes which many players won't even know are there and out of some who see it very few have the skill and technique to execute them.Then there is goalscoring quality with either leg. These type of players are very rare. Have been watching him since wolfsburg. Man is so talented and a joy to watch..

[Amaarc]

Fortunate to have watched KDB live, it was the Man City Sevilla game, and he was rested, we were at 1-1, he comes on and within 3 minutes produces the best pass i’ve ever seen with my own eyes and Alvarez finishes it, best midfielder in premier league history imo

[Kevon]

This panel is so fantastic when it gets into this mode. Just great work.

[hugoenzo]

Ive always said KDB sees passes that can only be seen if you were a watching the broadcast of the game on TV, almost impossible to see such things on the pitch and execute it with such nuance and perfection unless you are genius and he certainly is

[djsanti]

Kevin has been on fire since Wolfsburg. Used to love watching him in the league

[KZ-kyer]

Henry was a magical player. You don’t get many of them. Great ability and made you appreciate things about the game that no other player could demonstrate.

The way he talks about Kevin…I also used to feel similarly about Fabregas in his pomp
