Football Legend Thierry Henry Admits Henderson has Proven him Wrong After Doubts Over Talent

Speaking to The Sun, Henry admitted that he didn't expect Henderson to make it at a top four club because of supposed limited ability. However, the Frenchman is now a supporter of the Liverpool vice captain because of his work ethic and overall influence on the team in the last few months.

           

He ever said that Henderson reminds him of his former France team-mate Lilian Thuram, because of the way he works for his team.

Henry said: "There were times when I thought Jordan Henderson was not a 'Liverpool' player and would not become the midfielder he was hoping to be.

"I don't think I'm alone in saying this. I did have some major doubts. There was a concern he was not quite good enough to play at the very highest level, but the transformation in his game has been truly unbelievable.

"He has become an animal in Liverpool's midfield, I mean in a good way. He wants to work. He wants to deliver for his team. He wants to score goals., He wants to become the player he dreamed of."

Henderson was on the losing side on Sunday as Manchester United beat the Reds 2-1 at Anfield.
