Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has praised Reds teammate Jordan Henderson, as per the official club website.
The Egypt international spoke to fellow Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard on ‘When Stevie Met Salah’.
Both Salah and Gerrard have shared a dressing room with Henderson at Anfield.
And both sung the praises of the £20million midfielder, who succeeded Gerrard as Liverpool captain.
The duo were watching Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Chelsea in April 2019, with Salah netting a wonder-goal.
Henderson’s selfless off-the-ball run opened up space for his teammate to cut inside and score with a curling effort.
“Hendo is always doing that through the game when you play,” Salah said of his teammate.
“Most of the games he makes it easier for me because of the way he does that run.
“I think because we played together for five years I understand the game… Hendo always keeps talking to me.”
Gerrard added: “I used to enjoy playing with Jordan because Jordan was very selfless.
“He was a leader, he would do a lot of running for me and I was older at the time so I needed Jordan’s energy.”
Underrated
Henderson has earned his place in the Liverpool hall of fame for his efforts at Anfield over the years.
He has made 479 appearances for the Reds, including 400 starts, and has won every trophy there is to win.
Admittedly, Henderson hasn’t been at his best this season.
Nevertheless, his display in the 7-0 hammering of Manchester United was testament to his quality and how much he still has to offer the Reds.
He will be missed once he finally hangs up his boots, but maybe at that point more people will finally realise just how great a player he was/is.
