Thierry Henry was someone I looked upto massively. The main thing with him was the confidence he had, he just oozed confidence like he knew how good he was and nobody could tell him anything. He's definitely my number 1.

The best thing about him was that he knew it, he knew that this is what I can do, I can hurt teams at any moment so seeing him on the ball and taking on 3 guys and going past them and just slotting it and the way he slotted it was like whenever anyone finished like that you'd think Henry so yeah, he was a different player.

The England-born Ivory Coast international said that for Ronaldo, it is his mentality and how he takes care of his body that has always set him apart.

Didier Drogba was a legend in Ivory Coast despite failing to win the coveted Africa Cup of Nations. He led Chelsea to the 2012 Champions League triumph in one of his most dominant performances.

He's a player that turns up in big games and that's what players at the top need, that's why he was at the top for so long. He's a very influential player and person because he's from my country and I've spoken to him a few times.
