Henry disses Ronaldinho !

[robii]

It was amazing ! I hope I am not the only one who heard it , but right after the match, when interviewed by SKYSPORTS, HENRY dissed Ronaldinho , and also added Eto's name in there to make it seem like he didn't "hate" Ronaldinho. Than said that Larsson made the difference. It was the truth ,but the way he dissed Ronaldinho was AMAZING !!!
I applaude him, and respect him now for that !!!
Also, apparently before the match, in another interview Henry had said "what are these players that play happy, I am angry when I am out there, nobody is really happy. I play with anger, and that's why I am the BEST"
He is the best !
It takes a frenchman to say that !!!!
:D

[Nanbawan]

I mostly think he perfectly understands how work the media communication. Gotta say, he's apparently also skilled in this department.

[robii]

RESPECT , he is the MAN !

[Toon³]

He wasn't "dissing" him, we was saying that after all the hype around E'too and Ronaldinho it was Larsson that actually made the difference. There may have been some suggestion that those to players are overhyped but it depends how you look at it.

Any link to confirm this.......or can anyone quote what he really said?

Henry refused to blame match referee Terje Hauge for defeat, but he was less than pleased with his performance.

"I think we can be proud of ourselves and I don't want to start any arguments, but I don't know whether the referee had a Barcelona shirt on or something - in the first half they kicked me all over the place," he told Sky Sports.

"They are not used to the pace of The Premiership or maybe the desire, I thought they were harsh - I told the ref, 'If you don't want us to win it, just tell us from the start.'

"I don't think he cost us the final, you can't say that because we were one-nil up, and you know against a team like Barcelona - doing what we did for a very long time was more than difficult, but on the other side - next time I might learn how to dive maybe, they tried to kick me in my knee, from behind on my ankle but I am not a woman so I try and stay on my feet - but I always expect the ref to do his job, but today he didn't.

"At the end of the day they [Barcelona] can be happy, but we have played at ten for the whole game."

Henry insists that Swedish legend Henrik Larsson changed the game as he had a hand in both Barca goals.

"People always talk about Ronaldinho, and everything but I didn't see him today - I saw Henrik Larsson," he said.

"Two times he came on - he changed the game, that is what killed the game - sometimes you talk about Ronaldinho and Eto'o and people like that, you need to talk about the proper footballer who made the difference and that was Henrik Larsson tonight because I didn't see no Ronaldinho or no Eto'o or a proper referee also."

The French international again refused to be drawn on his future.

"I said I didn't think about it, I will start to think about it tonight," he said.

"I am just upset about the match we did - I can't complain about Jens's sending off, I am sure if you look at the game again Puyol should have got a yellow card, so many times Marquez came from behind to take my ankle and he didn't get a yellow card and I am sure if you are playing against me with a yellow card it is not the same game anymore.

"But we can be proud of what we did, I am upset for the Arsenal fans who came - but at the end of the day we made ourselves proud and the English game proud and I am a just a bit strange, but you know that is how it is." Here..

All kidding asside. I am a Milan fan, so i really dont care about Henry, ronaldinho or Eot'o, but we all heard it, he dissed him big time. He added Eto's name in there so he would seem like a looser for hatting Ronaldinho.
I respect Henry for what he said yesterday, he is the MAN!!!
Ronaldinho is extremly hypped up, especially thanks to those Nike commercials, and it all started this year .
Anyhow, Henry's got the power !!!!!
:D

Thank you!

Very, very disappointed in Henry. I've thought of him as a gentleman
for years now but that was not classy at all. Barca were the better side
and he had to be gracious in defeat, it's just that simple.

[robii]

I think he said the truth about Ronaldinho. Until around the 30th min, Ronaldinho was playing very well, but than he wanted to be the hero, and started messing it up.
But henry is a super GentleMAn !!!
he's French !!!
:D

[toronto_soccer]

i'd take ronaldinho over henry any day, and i doubt ronaldinho would make those kind of comments in defeat.

[bsas]

Surprising words coming from Henry. I also thought he was a gentleman. But seems he was all sour grapes. Well, he is an amazing player anyway, and that's what counts.

I would just refrain from talking about diving, when their goal came directly from a diving from Eboue...

Hi btw. :)

[King-James]

I can't blame him for being pissed off. He's a true competitor, and Marquez was obviously trying to injure him on multiple occasions. On one tackle he basically did the same thing that got him a red card in the last World Cup against USA. He was right that there was so much hype and little delivery from Ronaldinho. And Eto'o was offside on the first goal. I'd be suprised if Henry wasn't still on good terms with Ronaldinho and Eto'o.

[afcajax73]

Henry is just a sore loser.. they were out played all round.. some whill whine bout it wasnt a fair match.. but it also wasnt a fair tackle he deserved a red card.. and it was fine as far as i could tell... also i dont think its possible for the linesman to tell if he was offside ont eh frst goal.. and whether he was or not.. they scored and arsenal had no reply.. simple as.. get over it, never going win champs league

[XaviandXabi]

Ronnie, probably like i have two things that Henry will never get,

a champions league first place medal and fifa player of the year award

Edit:this is pretty hypocritical of Henry, this is probably the first game that Ronaldinho didnt become the Hero like he usually is but yet how many big games has Henry not showed up for Arsenal in the past, he has a reputation of not showing up in the big games

More precisely, he had a reputation of being a 'bottler', and being 'overrated' himself. I'm a bit disappointed with the comments. I was rooting for Arsenal a bit since they seemed like such an unlikely team to make the final in the first place. Ronaldinho didn't have the best games in his career, and he did try to be the hero on numerous occasions (don't have to say that he's succeeded plenty of times as well), but he didn't do it and another player was the star. And to be realistic, Larsson's been a hero for his club teams on several occasions, just that it wasn't as high profile since he was in Scotland. He's a quality, experienced player. Henry made Marquez and Oleguer look like they had two left feet but in the end, didn't find the back of the net either.

Henry was disappointed and frustrated - they came close, had a bad call with the sending off, and couldn't hold on in the end. But that's the way it goes. :cool:

[schmuckatelli]

Henry is just a sore loser.. they were out played all round..
The game I watched, I'm not sure that's an accurate assessment. In the opening minutes of the match, Arsenal were enjoying the ball, and taking the play to Barcalona, rather than being "outplayed all round." Barcalona started to assert themselves, and of course in the 18th minute came the rush toward goal that led to the red card. Granted, if the referee had held the whistle a moment longer and applied the advantage, it would have been 1-0 to Barcalona, but the way Arsenal was playing 11 v. 11, that was not insurmountable. Plus, there were several incidents and calls (on both sides of the ball) that just were not right.

Does anyone know what/why Henry was shrieking at Wenger? The announcers made a point of saying he was barking at his bench quite a bit.

[655321]

[robii]
