Jürgen Klopp was wise to leave Henderson as captain when he arrived as the midfielder’s unassuming leadership is the perfect foil for the German’s exuberance
Jordan Henderson is the most unassuming of captains, though by any measure he is now among the most successful. As Jamie Redknapp pointed out the night Liverpool’s Premier League title was confirmed, the midfielder has the honour of leading the champions of Europe, the world and now England, to which Henderson responded with a full-beam smile before admitting that he could not really think of anything to say.
“If feels pretty good, I’m just a bit lost for words at the moment,” the former Sunderland player said. “I didn’t want to talk about winning the league before we had actually done it, and now it’s happened I’m a little bit overwhelmed. You never really think of end moments like this because you are too busy concentrating on each game. What we have achieved has not fully sunk in yet. I can’t really describe it.”
