"I don't know how many times I change gears. He couldn't stop it."

Thierry Henry (47), a legendary player of the French national team and Arsenal in the English Premier League (EPL), recalled the 'genius striker' who reduced his limitations while active.

It was Gareth Bale (35) who was produced by Wales. When Bale played for Tottenham Hotspur, he said he couldn't stop it, praising it as a 'Tottenham Legend', which is better than Son Heung-min and Harry Kane.




British media TBR Football reported on the 17th (Korea time) 'Thierry Henry praised Bale for his amazing performance in Tottenham's uniform'

Tottenham has produced several legendary strikers. The most widely known striker is Kane, who ranks second in EPL's individual score with 213 goals. He is second to Alan Shearer (260 goals).

If Kane remained on the EPL stage, it was expected that he would be able to break the record. However, Kane left for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga ahead of the 2023-2024 season.




Son Heung-min, who played with Kane as his 'soul mate', is also a great flanker who will go down in Tottenham's history. Son Heung-min scored one goal and two assists while playing only 45 minutes in the first half against Southampton on the 16th, achieving a total of 68 assists. As a result, Son Heung-min broke the record of Tottenham's most personal help ever held by Darren Anderton.

However, Henry praised Kane as a greater striker than Son Heung-min or Kane. Appearing on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, where he appears as a regular, he mentioned Bale's hat-trick against Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League in the 2010-2011 season.

In what is said to be "Bale's life game", Bale alone teased Inter Milan defenders and scored a hat-trick. However, Tottenham had already allowed four goals. In the end, Tottenham lost 3-4.




But in a different sense, Bale was called 'winner'. This is because he played a great game, one of the best performances of all time.

Henri must mention this and take credit for Bale. When Bale has the ball under his feet, the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth gears often go in. I don't know how many gears Bale has. He was unstoppable. The game against Inter Milan was amazing, and Bale was a special player after that."

Bale continued to be a Tottenham ace. He was the ace who led Tottenham before Kane and Son Heung-min. He scored 21 goals and 2 assists in the EPL stage in the 2012-2013 season.

Regarding this veil, current Tottenham coach Enze Postecoglou and Dejan Kulusevski are also praising it, calling it a `great legend, an incredible player.' Jamie Carragher also named Bale '10th greatest striker in EPL history' Although he fell in love with golf in his final years, Bale truly deserves to be called 'Legend'.
