Regarding Jordan Henderson’s relocation to Saudi Arabia, Brendan Rodgers has stood by him.
The former Liverpool captain discussed his move to the Middle East in a yesterday interview.
After a backlash, he claimed he did not move to Saudi for money and argued his relocation can be a ‘positive thing’ for his LGBTQ community.
In response to further criticism of Henderson, his ex-Reds manager Rodgers has defended him and claimed that people are unfairly judging him.
“Jordan, I know him extremely well and I know that the love he had for Liverpool and has and will always have for Liverpool,” the Celtic manager told Ally McCoist and Alan Brazil on talkSPORT Breakfast this morning.
“But at 32, he was probably no longer the first name on the team sheet.
“He’s won everything and probably wanted a different challenge, so it didn’t feel right for him to be at another Premier League club out of respect. So going abroad and taking on a new task fit him.
Listen, we love the game and football, and we’re all lucky to work in or around it, but for these young guys, it’s their life. So they must act in their best interests.
