Not long ago, Henry talked about the former Manchester City midfielder, currently playing for Naples, in an interview.

He said: "De Bruyne? Don't try to understand a genius: they think differently, they see different things."

"De Bruyne strives for perfection in everything he does. The number of games the boy won Belgium and the victory he brought to Manchester City is endless. Guardiola said he is a player who likes assists and plays for others. You would say he is the midfielder, but in my opinion, he is the closest player to Big Lauderup."
