THIS IS A POST ABOUT THAT ONE TIME THIERRY HENRY GAVE AN ENTIRE INTERVIEW DEVOTED SOLEY TO STEVEN GERRARD AND HOW MUCH HE LOVES HIM:

You played against Steven so many times. Is there an occasion that stands out?
There are so many. Whenever you play Liverpool you know you have to get him out of the game. If not, it’s all over for you. He’s a midfielder and if you look at all the important goals he’s scored - well I can’t even think of a striker in the world who has scored as many important goals, never mind a midfielder. How many times has he done it in the dying seconds of a game? I am trying to think of a striker now who does it - there aren’t any. Think about it.
 
Tell us about your friendship. How close did you become?
Yes, really close. I played against Liverpool and Stevie G so many times, and when you appreciate a player so much and see them at every game, you talk. I always told him how much I admired him and he said the same to me. We exchanged numbers and kept in touch from there.
 
And do you still speak these days now you’re at Barcelona?
We haven’t spoken for a little while. I think the last time was at the beginning of the season. I’ll text him and he’ll reply very quickly.
 
Is it right the pair of you talked about you coming to Liverpool when you were leaving Arsenal?
Well, it was mentioned but it would have been difficult for me to go to another Premier League club after Arsenal. We talked about it but nothing was in it, really. It was just us talking about our wishes.

How much would you have liked to have played with him?
Oh, so much, so much. That’s normal - I would have liked to have played with some others too, but he is an inspiration. He reminds me of Patrick Vieira in that he doesn’t talk too much. He just does what he does. He inspires Liverpool without talking. I find it a disgrace that he didn’t win European Football of the Year in 2005 after Istanbul. For me, he is one of the best ever.

Where does Steven rank in world football in your opinion?
 For me, and I have always said this, he will be regarded as one of the greatest midfielders ever when he finishes his career. No doubt. Okay, he doesn’t do the showboating thing. That doesn’t matter. The guy is always putting his foot in, always scoring and doing what he has to do to make his team win. That is what football is all about. He is the guy who makes Liverpool spark.

Henry on Gerrard’s 10 years
It is amazing what Stevie has done and is doing. It’s not like he has relaxed for all this time. He has been everywhere for 10 years: putting his foot in, scoring goals, passing and being committed to his club. No one can ever doubt his commitment to Liverpool. He, for me, is Liverpool.

Intensity characterizes passion. A passion lacking intensity is impossibility just as a hardworking slouch is an impossibility.The intensity of feeling and emotion seldom, if ever, admits of mathematically precise determination. It isn’t the sort of thing whose instances can be numerically

Long Live the King!
