Something is fishy for sure !!

... for football freaks only

Couple of days back I heard a news. Henry stood third behind Ronaldinho and Shevchenko for the best European footballer award. Initially I thought that it was one of those things which get spread but when I came to know that this is the fact, I was dumbstruck to say the least. All the three are great players without a shadow of a doubt but Henry is by far the best.

Ronaldinho is a dazzler and has contributed no ends in Barcelona's recent success but when u compare his performance with Henry's … its peanuts. Henry is not only a prolific goal scorer but, as arsenal team members will tell, he is the best assist in the EPL. So basically he is both .. a fierce striker and an excellent provider … cant ask for more than that. Ronaldinho on the other hand is no where near to Henry as far as goal scoring is concerned. Henry may not have those outrageous skills of Ronaldinho but what matters is being effective on the field and he is surely better than Ronaldinho in that respect. If one sees on the simplest gauge, Barcelona without Ronaldinho is imaginable but Arsenal without Henry … what is that ?

As far as Shevchenko is concerned, well, one can say stop Shevchenko and AC Milan will be stopped. He is a AC Milan’s heart and soul and in some ways is what Henry is to Arsenal. But by no means is he a better goal getter than Henry and is no where near Henry as far as assistance is concerned.

So for me Henry wins it hands down. And the fact that he stood third tells me that there is some sort of conspiracy theory going on !!!
