“At times we forget that football is a team effort, a team game and not a solo show game. Sometimes we just don't respect the game. I love my game, but sometimes you need to please the people around you also, and pass the ball to them.

That is something I'm thinking about more.”

Thierry Henry (1977) French association football player
