  1. Jamie is right, i have a few friends who are good with both feet and very hard to defend, idk if they’re gna fake a shot, cut in, shoot with left or shoot with right, very hard to defend, only way to defend them is if i stay next to them and go for a tackle as soon as they touch the ball, playing games against unknown players is very easy, im on them the second they are on the ball so they dont have time to think.

  2. I think the amount of power R9 generates when he's running with the ball was what likely caused his first case of knee rupture, when he was in Inter.

  3. I like Henry's way of thinking: "But what if he was to take a step". "Then I was dead". That's exactly the thing, you don't have time to overthink as an attacking player. Football is not about what ifs. You either do it or you don't. It's not like every feint always works. But if you are preoccupied about wether it can fail then nothing will come out of it. One instance you lose to the defender, the other time you succeed. Being relentless is very important for a striker in my opinion. You have to keep on trying. Dribblings are exactly about what Henry said. It's about make believe. Body feints needs to be executed to trick the defenders. It sounds easier than it is. You basically have to force your opponent to make mistakes. Beckenbauer was once asked a similar question in German TV and he said it the best. If nobody (especially defenders) never make mistakes, how is anybody ever gonna score? Football is way more about mind games than many people would think.

  4. A lot of young ppl today who just started following football may NEVER grasp the greatness of EL Fenomeno, aka Brazilian Ronaldo. At his prime, he was otherworldly. As Henry said, he combined 3 features (Speed, skill & strength) to his game. If u want to see something truly truly magical, find a video of an old Barcelona fc game vs Compostella, trust me, you'd be glad you did.

  5. You know what I love about cbs sports, they let this whole segment without interruption! Henry explain this so well for someone that it’s retired didn’t even said one single bad thing about mbappe he just explain how great he is at his craft
