Comparing henry and costa is absolutely insulting.
I agree, Costa is way better
Haha nice one. People keep ragging on about Costa's antics but he can certainly win it on his own. He's really that good.
Nicholas Benedict Goh really ?? It's unbelievable how dumb people can be, who in this world could even think of comparing costa and Henry. Lol. England fans are deluded
is it? costa's a beast
yes i am chelsea fan but i will be selfish here because comparing 3 years costa achievement and importance for defensive team like chelsea is more valuable than henry 3 years at arsenal.If costa has played us for present he will score more than 30 goal under attacking manager like sarri and 2016-2017 3-5-2 formation under conte
The way he swerved that manager question to avoid picking between Jose, Pep, and Wenger
Brad Real some choice tho
Brad Real Lol Wenger
Najib Rahman Lol Wenger? Better than both of them. Ask Cesc who's his favourite and he'll tell you that it is Arsene ;)
And del bosque
Brad Real he wanted to say pep
You can’t compare Henry and Costa. Costa has more of an aggressive, spontaneous approach whereas Henry was intelligent and elegant on the pitch. So as much as I miss Costa in Chelsea, Henry will always be 🔝
Sam Lindsay I stand corrected. You can compare them, but in terms of finesse and technical ability Thierry is miles ahead.
Widad Rahman o
Henry is good in every aspect a striker should have. He is the kind of striker everyone should look up to if they want to be one because he has everything.
Thierry Henry no doubt over Costa
the kind of people who pick Henry ovee Costa should be killed instantly.
Henry is amongst the 10 best striker of all time whereas Costa can't even be one of the 10 best striker nowadays.
One of the few times where a player actually thought about his team tactically.. That's football intelligence, won't be surprised if he ends up in management
uijja what putting 3 attacking players that won't track back on? Should of sacrificed Hazard for an all rounder
@Peter Fowler, You think Hazard and Messi can't defend?
Peter Fowler this is five aside and anyway, messi works incredibly hard
It's not that deep. Simple stuff. I think like this when I get asked for a 5-a-side all time XI, guess I'm the next Mourinho ain't I. Div.
Track back on? Lmao you think Messi and Hazard can't defend in 5 vs 5 game? have you ever seen 5 vs 5 game before?
Still think Cesc is hugely underrated, incredible technician.
massively underrated
He’s lowkey one of the greatest midfielders since of the 21st century
When he was in his prime at Arsenal, he was one of the best. No doubt about that.
Underrated? Everyone knows how good he is. He's been at the top his whole career...
ZolaMagic25 nah people don’t rate him anymore since he lost his legs
Henry is the easiest striker pick. He had everything and could score every type of goal. What a player.
RC 83 he's no Drogba
exactly thats why the henry pick is a easy one
he had a better connection with Diego
ohhh, come on! Haha. What I have always loved about Henry - and RC 83 mentions this - he can be, or he can play - in many different styles. Drogs was all power, back to goal, turn and blast. Henry could do that, too, and he could also dribble around and through the defense. Great in the air, a great teammate, great humanitarian. The BIGGEST DRAWBACK for Henry is.... well, I'm Irish so see if you can guess.
RC 83 Henry bottled finals.
What an unbelievable 5 a side team this is ! Is this the best team we‘ve had so far?? Cesc was a lovely fella
Smithy
pretty accurate pick, no one can have any complaints
Might be lacking a bit of grit, Sol Campbell or Puyol as the defender wouldn't have weakened them going forward.
Needs a midfielder in there . Take hazard out and put Xavi in
Casillas
Ramos
Iniesta hazard
Messi
Riley Murray lol hazard over who???
Henry and costa not even a competition Henry is miles better
Caine Sheehy As a Chelsea fan I would agree to that. .Henry was on another level
Caine Sheehy same as messi vs cr, but messi is miles better
Caine Sheehy costa much better no.9..henry better all round
You didn't even watch the video and came here just to comment this didn't you?
Costa u can compare him with Fernando Torres
This is a Really stupid question....Costa or Henry? Of course it's Thierry Henry!
The question who is the best striker u played with?? Then got loads of top quality strikers me tioned to him then fabregas said 2 players stick to my mind.... costa and henry.... personally costa is my last pic coz other strikers were better for me like torres,rvp,henry and david villa
He'd make a fantastic manager. One of the most intelligent football brains out there. Him, Lampard, Pirlo.
TheBlooRayChannel and pique with an iq of apparently 170 that is top 0.0001%
Let’s see how Super Frank does at Derby!!!
@@dominiccarpenter3899 he been poor hasn't he?
Well, a year later and Super Frank has been killing it at Chelsea
Clearly these kids didnt watch football matches lol
cesc would be a fantastic manager imo, passionate, great understanding of the game and a very charismatic bloke too, sure it will happen one day
Cesc is a humble guy I wish to meet him one on one, he's one of my best player
Such a humble and talented player, can't hate this guy (unless you are an Arsenal fan)
Yeah really thought about this one, definitely a future manager
better than arsene lmao
Alan Hutton9i
incredibly classy player. love players like him, he's a pleasure to watch. you just have to appreciate players like cesc
This guy is a living legend..I want to meet you one day cesc, you are the defination of inspiration..
And to think Pique is having one of the best seasons of his career at the moment. Always underrated.
Titles of videos like this piss me off. Henry is clearly the better striker
Pique over Puyol? Cesc send me what you are smoking
Gee MC He has played with both CBs man. He knows which he prefers
In terms of being 'offensive' pique is better
Gee MC Lol Pique is much better than that fraud Puyol ever was. Man was just a Spanish Ashley Williams.
If you watch the video it makes sense. Cesc says his top 2 choices striker choices are costa and henry, and then in the end he even puts costa as his supersub.
He is so lucky to have been played amongst best players 🤗
adriano, henry and inesta was the 3 people I looked up too when I was a kid.
I was never an messi, cr7 or zlatan fan like most kids did.
It was something special about those 3 players that made me push the limits and become good at the game, then when I did get the chance to get signed to a bigger team in my country, I torn my acl when I was 16 and that was that, 2 years rehab, back to square 1.
Best part....
Ballon D'Or for Hazard
It's upto him....
Very well said.
Henry is one of the best of all time with arsenal was amazing
Didn't deserve him
iam a arsenal fan i love fabregas always what a midfielder he is he is in my heart even though he left arsenal
Although cesc left us which divides opinions on him, I loved watching him when he played for us and would absolutely love to see him in the arsenal colours again!
LOOOOOOOL how's he gonna start the ST list with Morata!?
ibrahimgunner to get him over with cuz hes shite
Because morata is the best striker in the world
Morata aint bad he’s just currently in a bad situation
A bad joke obviously..
Thierry Henry, no Competition There. PERIOD!!!
Thierry Henry
Eden Hazard Lionel Messi
Gerard Piqué
Iker Casillas
What a choice of strikers Cesc Fabregas has from his career! If you could only pick ONE, who would you go for?
Henry
Soccer AM Messi
Either Drogba or Thierry
henry
stay off the weed wanyonyi. Henry was on a different planet to drogba. no comparison, whether u go by stats, Important goal or the sheer sexiness to watch. different planet.
Some players get the title of legend and don’t even have half his trophy’s and always a fundamental player on his side. Much respect legend
What a career... He played with Henry, Bergkamp, Hazard, Messi, Casillas. Wow
great guy, great player
These interviews always make me like the players more
I'm a RM fan, but I must admit Henry was the best striker out there throughout his career.
Arsenal is always in his Heart
who is the best striker Thierry Henry or Diego Costa lmao , might as well ask who's the best tennis player Roger Federer or Tim Henman lol
What a great man Cesc is
One of the best midfielders we’ve ever seen on a pitch top player.
Henry is the best ever
to play for arsenal
@@quamne to play in the prem
@@IamSuperEffective foreigner in the prem
@@urlocalproducer I think Henry was far better than Shearer
@@IamSuperEffective scholes
The guy still loves arsenal
Wake up it's tea time.
Ste wOOD
He wanted to go back but arsenal rejected him so he went to chelsea
Khalid Aden usmAA10780law 10890law law
If someone leaves arsenal he automatically becomes a traitor lol, arsenal fans needs to change their attitude towards their own players. Not only him we talking about van persie, nasri , sagna, clichy, and now sanchez.
Sports Station Thats bollocks. We only hate players who sign for rivals, or move for money. Like all the player you mentioned. Pretty sure any fan would be the same.
What I have always loved about Henry - and RC 83 mentions this - he can be, or he can play - in many different styles. Drogs was all power, back to goal, turn and blast. Henry could do that, too, and he could also dribble around and through the defense. Great in the air, a great teammate, great humanitarian. The BIGGEST DRAWBACK for Henry is.... well, I'm Irish so see if you can guess.
Drogba did it in the critical moments....Henry did quite the opposite.
Cesc is my best midfielder ever I enjoy when I see him on the pitch" I love you fabregas you always simplify the big job to be an easy job....😘😘
I thought he would pick Pep Guardiola 😁😁
But that's one of the best 5-a-side team picked by a professional football player 👏🏼👏🏼
Would be sick for all the dream 5 a side teams to play against each other in a tournament
cesc will b a future legend manger.....so smart.
That was some serious striker options available at his disposal. It was clear though there was only going to be one striker above the rest, Lord Bendtner.
Cesc didn't pick either Xavi or Iniesta, quite surprised by that
Diogo Costa john terry too
FT 9 I expected him to pick a spanish defender instead of JT
because they're overrated also Eden and Messi are miles better
TheGrandmaster they're actually becoming underrated by fans like you
Cesc was pretty much benched by Xavi and Iniesta in his Barca time.
I see it already. Fabregas will be great manager some day.
Very well made. Fantastic choices.
That ODB sample tho!!
Where's bakayoko????
In the starting x1 against barcelona
Kkkkkķkkk he is died
In chelsea still i think
Nice joke.. He probably will mess up the game with his horrible touch..
Vitesse.
I just love cesc do not know what it is he’s just the nicest guy in football
Can t get any more technical than this !
I would absolutely love to see cesc manage a football side
Has there been a better 5 a side? I don't think so
pique is more offensive, he said it himself
You are probably kidding right, my 5 a side, Buffon, Maldini, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo R9, beat this
TheMiG96
Congratulations on playing with all of them, I'm jealous, I wish I was you.
Tommy Hahaha 😎
Tommy vfg?
No Lord Bendtner?
Bendtner for what?
I would pick him in every position
Imagine how really good Costa is, i mean he was second choice instead of neymar, torres, villa, RVP, etc. The reason we dont really appreciate how good he is its because of his character on the pitch, but he is really really good. If fit, top 3 strikers in the world.
after some "key moments" in my life: "...birth of my kids..." of Cesc your a legend!
Arsenal is the best team in the world!
A proud Gunner from Nepal!
DAYDREAMING!!!!!
Still haven't won a champions league or a European championship
Wtf is that title? 😂
LOl init. Henry or costa lol, different planets lol.
Daniel Ward you think ur hard “init”
Deigo Costa is good Henry is the best premier league player of all time no contest
I think 'ACE ACE' has just embarrassed himself. Silly little child. keyboard warrior. I feel for you picking things up like that. Silly little girl lol.
True Gooner your an Arsenal fan, why are you judging the 'titles'?
Love You cesc FaBreGaS😍😍😍
amazing squad
Zidane is the greatest player of all time, all you need to do is go back and watch the full game of a 34 year old Frenchman dominate a Brazil team full of legends in the World Cup
Nah if he could have added goals to his playmaking, he might be in the conversation now.
Allegro T He won everything and scored when he needed to. There’s no one more clutch than Zidane, save for maybe Pele.
Henry or Costa how can you even ask that question? It's like asking whether you'd prefer a gold or a bronze medal. The answer is obvious.
In case you're stupid it's Henry and gold!
He's gonna make a good manager in the future and build up midfielders that will be as good as he is
I have seen many players name their 5 a side team and this is probably the best one so far.
Anyone who says xavi is overrated doesn't know football. The guy was tiki takka himself. Ever wondered why Barca couldn't do it anymore when he retired. Ever wondered why pep couldn't play tiki taka style with Bayern. Like Henry says best midfielder he has ever played with.
Vincent Ogonda he didn’t retire, but yeah I agree
Anto Viamonte haha I know but when you go to Qatar to play football that’s basically retirement 😂
True that, that duo was the best midfield in the world and key succes for barca because they can be good servant for leo or they striker.
Hahhaa yeah if player go qatar or MLS you can count him as retire because no competitive in their league, they just chasing more money and having fun a little bit more right before retire 😂😂
I agree, no midfielder comes close to Xavi. Not even Iniesta and I’m a Barca fan.
He couldnt say Wenger coz hes in Chelsea
he couldn't say Wenger because he went 10 years without a single trophy, got humiliated by 5 goals or more in multiple seasons and hasn't won the league in 14 years.
Khalid Al Delete before bayern fans see
I strongly believe Fabregas can make a championship manager if he ever decides to pursue that in the future. What sets him apart from many of his team mates and opposition in my opinion is his football IQ and ability to read the pitch and make the right decisions in mere seconds. It's between him, David Silva, and Isco for being the best and most intelligent midfielder in Spain today and it will be amazing seeing them all play in the World Cup.
Ima miss this guy
It's sad to c him leave Chelsea
ABSOLUTE LEGEND
Didn't expect him to leave Xavi & Iniesta out
Well one from each team so Messi for Barcelona and Iker for the national team. Makes sense.
I can understand Cesc's decisions even though he wanted to pick players from each team but, despite their greatness, there's no way i'd pick Xavi & Iniesta instead of Hazard & Messi.
Dieudonné Masiga
Really???
Iniesta and Xavi are better than Hazard
Hazard is a different beast to Xavi and iniesta.
Yasin Dar agreed
I can’t imagine having Dennis Bergkamp as an option and choosing anyone else. Bergkamp is one of the greatest players that has ever graced a football pitch. I’ve never seen a player outside of R9, CR7 or Messi do what he did. Given I never had the opportunity to watch Pele, Maradona, Eusebio, Puskas, Kubalar etc.
Fraxure I agree he was mesmerising to watch you didn't watch Zidane or davids in there day?
sun ny yeah forgot about Zidane, sounds like a stupid thing to say lol. Ronaldinho, Baggio, even Okocha to an extent as well
I love you so much fabre😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
One of the best English from a Spaniard, I think. Massively underrated during his prime.
8:51 "So I will put Costa in there, because of my connection I had with him in my three years at Ars..eyerrr.."
henry without question
When they showed the formation for his team, my guess was Casillas, Pique, Iniesta, Messi, and Henry. Not a bad guess lol
Nice interview
Cesc rocking the OVO bomber jacket
Am a Chelsea fan better I must said the truth Henry is a master to Costa
Fabregas has had a truly remarkable career.
Gk: Neur (can play with feet and acts as sweeper) DF: Maldini (very aggressive) M: Busquets (Recovers balls and passes to forwards) LW: Cristiano Ronaldo (will score a lot) RW: Messi (will dribble and assist)
Diego Costa is an excellent footballer, but Thierry Henry is a legend.
Techno Demic if you just need machine goal i will pick costa, but henry is better all around player and can score as well so thats make a sense when you choose henry over costa
Hey Ari - my all-time greatest team is as follows - Jennings, Zanetti, Desailly, Roberto Carlos, Lothar Mattheus, Franz Beckenbauer (captain), Cristiano Ronaldo, Riquelme, Gerson, Pele and Henry. formation 3-2-3-2
Subs - Yashin, Kafu, Blanc, Breitner, Rivera, Cruyff and Eusebio. :)
Shame it could never be.................
@@technodemic6258 you need to take out fairy boy penaldo and put Real Ronaldo in. R9!
@@amajeet I wouldn't mind being a fairy if I got all the birds Cristiano has cracked, chum! Admittedly he's a winker, but so dedicated to his trade. I'm no fan of his personality, but I think he'd do better on the right of a midfield trio than your guy, who was essentially a striker, but no match for Pele. Anyway, a matter of taste.
@@technodemic6258 look like u fantasy too much u need to be anoos cracked by him. Big cheat, diver. Selfish strop. So hes clearly outside top ten for worlds best player.
LMAO @ Henry vs Costa - Like comparing a Lamborghini to a pair of cart wheels
Costa compared to Henry would be like watching a dog trying to listen to classical music.
"Without the ball it is very difficult to get the ball off of him" well said cesc.
Cesc displays a broad outlook. He talks like how he plays (vision).
He reminds me of Jose Mourinho
A to Z music "I want them to play the beautiful game."
Imagine Jose saying thet
Lol. He grew up in the famous La masia 433 possession based football with Messi and pique. Joined Arsenal and flourished for arsenal with ‘Wengerball’. Can put money on him becoming a manager in the same mould of Pep and Wenger
Spanish and Portuguese are very similar languages... Heck Jose started to coach in barcelona
I would have chosen busquets, iniesta, Messi and bergkamp. 5 a side is all about technical skill and being able to beat players and close control. Those guys have it more than any others.
diulikadikaday Sure, because Henry, Hazard and Messi couldn't beat any players.
Carlos Andres Serrano, Where did I say that Cesc’s team couldn’t beat any players. I just think that the team I mentioned would be better
diulikadikaday Great team. All have ideal qualities for 5-a-side
A good 5 a side but Henry still shouldn't be omitted
He is not comparing Costa and Henry. Just the fact that he and Costa has better chemistry, or better timing. They together created a lot of goals.
Yes Cesc you could manage better than many. I'd keep Iniesta in the sub if I were you, to shuffle things up when needed. But you possess attacking instincts that's why you chose centre forward.
'Winning the world cup was the best moment of my life... oh wait, I have kids'
Any team without CR7 is questionable to me.
@@viwembande9497 he never played with CR7 so CR7 is out of the option
He played with him 😊
I'll throw a party when he comes back to Arsenal.
Mr Me
Wenger should of brought him back in 2014
End of story.
very good cchoice of picking the manager
Messi and Hazard in same team .. no way!! Who’s gonna defend that. There will be magic movement between these two.
Didnt even watch the video, just came after reading the title. How dare you compare hot trash to the legend himself.
Whoever says Diego Costa is better should stop watching football
Henry one of the best to ever do it.
Cesc picked an awesome team with great legends from the past. Hopefully, he will manage a top team in the future. He does have the brain for the beautiful game.
Get flaming on
Henry
Ronaldinho Özil
Nesta
Cech
Get flaming on Henry Ronaldinho Özil Nesta Cech
How could you put Costa up there and leave out Drogba. No disrepair to Costa because he’s an amazing player but not as good as Drogba
Talhah Ahmad
He wasn’t at Chelsea when drogba was in his prime
And he also explains why he chose costa
Hey be honest with yourself,if you don’t know how to watch soccer then don’t argue..costa is better than Drogba but yes they are both good but quality and ruggedity of a player always in search of goal it as to be Diego Costa
well, he knew hed never be the same in our eyes again...
How do you even put Diego Costa and Henry in the same sentence? In 5 years people will most likely have forgotten who Costa was but in 20 years we will remember T. Henry! Legend
