Playing For England Still Means A Lot To Me – Henderson

Liverpool manager, Jordan Henderson has come out to insist that there is no reason he can’t continue playing for England despite moving to Al-Ettifaq from Liverpool. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, if he focuses on playing for Ettifaq and giving his best in every game, there is really no reason why he cannot be called up to the national team like Southgate has said.

Henderson added that playing for England means a lot to him, and he still believes he has a role to play in the team.

His words, “I’m focused on playing for Ettifaq and playing my best. If I’m doing that then there’s no reason why I can’t play for England, as the gaffer said,”

“Obviously we spoke over the last few weeks about it because playing for England means a lot to me and I feel as though I can still bring a lot to the team as I have in the last few games in the World Cup. So I still feel as though I can bring a lot. But at the same time I’ve got to do my job here and if I can do that then hopefully I can make the team as normal.”

On his Saudi Arabian club, “Stevie was a big reason obviously why I came. To work with him and play under him. We need to be ready in the first week or so for the first game, but I’m sure we will be. We’ve had some good training sessions. So hopefully we can keep moving things in the right direction and definitely work together to try to make the team better and more successful.”
