There are stadiums that, because of their historical weight and their fans, are iconic. Many footballers continue to dream of playing at Old Trafford, even now the Manchester United is in low time, at San Siro included Inter either Milaneven at Signal Iduna Park in front of the wall defending the shirt of the colors of Borussia Dortmund. But if there was one that proved to deliver more than the others, it was without a doubt Anfield when he sang his now legendary ‘You’ll never walk alone’ a cappella he played, as if saying ‘the chicken’s skin ‘.
For this reason, making the decision to leave Liverpool when you are one of their undisputed starters is something strange. Understood when Luis Suarez either Philippe Coutinho They did it to jump a Barça that wanted everything Leo Messi as a standard bearer, but not so much when he decided on a very different path Jordan Hendersonfirst captain and who, at the end of his contract, decided to go to Saudi Arabia.
Anfield’s shadow is very long. Not because of the criticism that fell on the English midfielder and international, at least until that moment, because he was no longer one, but because he left an environment that was grateful as demanding. To train himself Jurgen Kloppshare the field with Mohamed Salah or Virgil van Dijk and be part of the ‘red’ family. A few months is reason enough Henderson realized his mistake and became the first star to end up returning to Europe. In one of the great ones, Ajax, where the adventure only got worse.
As one of the players with the most stripes, and as a veteran at the age of 34, the Englishman was expected to make a step in quality that, in the end, did not come. He ended up in an Ajax team with serious sporting problems that he helped fix, but he demands the same from his teammates as he did at Anfield, fighting in another square. This is how his frustration was seen this week, lashing out Bertrand Traore in the fight won. Something not unusual, and that is that he had exploded against his colleagues because of the lack of seriousness and commitment. Anfield is not found everywhere
