Arsenal captain Thierry Henry has hailed France's new generation
of talent.
Henry has singled out young stars Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema
as he believes both players can make history if they remain focused
on their football.
"Ribery is a super player, he is also my friend," Henry told
AFP.
"I love his way of playing, he looks like Lionel Messi.
"He doesn't think, he dares, dribbles, tempts things. Just like
Messi, he is a very rare player.
"When I see a player like him emerging, I take him under my wing.
Then, if he can fly that is good. I hope he will fly for a long
time.
"There is no danger if Karim Benzema plays for Lyon and if Raymond
Domenech has called him up for France.
"If he stays focused, if he keeps that envy and that coolness, this
child can be great."
