Jordan Henderson opens up on “genius” Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson believes he has gone to the next level as a player and that can help deliver the trophies he longs for at Anfield. The 28-year-old insisted he feels like a young again. “I would have liked to have won more, that’s one thing if I look back over,” he admits. “I’m very proud of how far I’ve come in the seven years I’ve been here. But I know there’s still a lot more to give. I feel as though I’m getting into my prime now,” the 28-year-old explained. “I feel as though I'm in a good period in my career with the balance of experience and still having the youth. Physically as well, I feel in good shape, and I also think I can improve and be better in areas. “Under Jurgen Klopp there's no better manager to do that really. He helps us a lot on and off the field and I want to continue to do that.” “As a manager, tactically he is amazing. What he has done at this football club since he came in is phenomenal really, the transformation,” the experienced midfielder explained. “That’s no disrespect to Brendan [Rodgers] and anyone before. But I look at the transformation from when he first came into where it is now and it has certainly gone up in terms of everything. He has brought the whole club together – the fans, the players, the staff. “He has made younger players and older players even better. He is such a massive influence. For me, I’ve benefited so much from the last seven years here and now I’m ready to go even further, be better and help this club become successful. That’s where all my energy is into: to win trophies.” The Liverpool skipper signed a new five-year contract this week which will keep him at the club until his 33rd birthday.
