No, I just believe it over people who claim that Henrik Larsson, an excellent footballer but unremarkable in the grand scheme of things, is the best ever.
he was a great player but calm down, he couldnt compete with the likes of messi, pele etc. he didnt do to much else outside celtic but was still a great player
Ask Arsenal fans how "he didn't do much in a certain CL final"...
Ronaldinho - With Henrik leaving us at the end of the season this club is losing a great scorer, no question. But I am also losing a great friend. Henrik was my idol and now that I am playing next to him it is fantastic.
After his two assists v. Arsenal in the CL final, Thierry Henry said "People always talk about Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Giuly and everything, but I didn't see them today, I saw Henrik Larsson. He came on, he changed the game, that is what killed the game. Sometimes you talk about Ronaldinho and Eto'o and people like that; you need to talk about the proper footballer who made the difference, and that was Henrik Larsson tonight."
**** Advocaat - Larsson is one of the best strikers in Europe, maybe the world. If you watch Batistuta, he is sometimes not seen for 90 minutes but he scores two goals. Larsson has even more, because, besides being a good player and goalscorer, he has a tremendous work rate.
And for Celtic he did things in Europe we've been unable to replicate since.
Though, I'll admit I've got green-tinted glasses (H)
