They both didn’t get each other. Don’t make it a Henry issue.
Henry and Zidane played 55 games together before Zidane assisted him for the first time, and that was in that 2006 World Cup game against Brazil. It was a setpiece.
They never hit it off on the pitch. Henry wanted a Bergkamp, Zidane wanted a Ronaldo. They both had different tastes in creators and strikers. Henry loved combination play and fast releases. Zidane wanted to dazzle before he releases you to do the rest.
Henry wants to run into space. He’s expecting the pass asap.
It was a case of two extremely gifted footballers not just being stylistically compatible. It’s not a Henry-only case as you’ve made it seem. Henry was also BEGGING for a midfielder who could play him in quickly. He enjoyed playing with Youri Djorkaeff.
Cristiano Ronaldo is goalless in his last 10 Portugal games at major tournaments:

i can’t believe the revisionist history around mookie, he absolutely was the first domino to fall to usher in this championship era for the dodgers. will never forget the articles where mookie in spring training was like “this effort is not good enough to win a chip”
🚨💣 BREAKING: Carlo Ancelotti will bring CHANGES to his starting XI vs Haiti!
