Missed that one. What was the advice? In person or an online comment?
"advised him on improving his dribbling and end product. Henry emphasized that Doku, despite his impressive dribbling skills, didn't always need to dribble past defenders to create scoring opportunities or deliver effective crosses. He encouraged Doku to look up and assess the field, rather than solely focusing on the ball, and to understand when a simple pass or cross was more effective. Henry's advice aimed to help Doku balance his natural dribbling ability with better decision-making and improved end product."
“I’m looking at him and as you, always [gestures that Doku is always looking to dribble], I’m like when you do this, what do you see? Are you here, are you here [where Doku is currently stationed] or are you there [closer to goal]?”
While Ola Aina has pinpointed how dangerous Doku is, Thierry Henry encouraged him to look up while taking on a man to spot his striker’s movement as well.
“Because you do this [standing up his man] to see what you’re doing because you’re cooking here, I call it cooking, you’re cooking here but you see the movement of your [number] nine but you do this [look down], you don’t even know what’s happening [when the striker is inside the box] there. You don’t need to dribble past someone to give a cross, you don’t need to dribble past someone to give an assist.”
“It’s about balance, like everything in life.”
