Lallana: Henderson proves doubters wrong for a living

Adam Lallana has praised Jordan Henderson following Liverpool’s Champions League victory on Saturday and criticised those who continue to question the Reds skipper’s ability.

Henderson became just the fifth Liverpool captain to lift the European Cup in the club’s history (Emlyn Hughes did it twice in 1977 and 1978) after putting in another solid performance against Tottenham in Madrid.

Lallana played no part in the game itself but was quick to defend his club captain and England teammate.

“Listen, I don’t know why there are questions there. It seems like always,” he said.

“He’ll keep proving people wrong the rest of his career. It’s what he does for a living.

“As footballers, we always do that because other people will always write stuff about us.

“But, listen, he’s just lifted the sixth Champions League for the club and he’s one of our best players this season.”

The Reds’ No.20 added: “I drive in with him most days. I see how selfless he is towards the group, how he puts other people first, never himself.

“No one sees that apart from our players inside.

“Everyone has the utmost respect for him so I couldn’t be happier for him, really.”
