Jordan Henderson keeps his place in the England squad: what awaits the player.

Jordan Henderson's success at Brentford

According to The Sun: Jordan Henderson's success at Brentford does not surprise those who follow football.

Some expressed surprise when the 'Bees' brought back the 35-year-old player to the Premier League after his stint in Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands.

This is particularly noticeable after the summer when the team lost their manager, captain, and two key strikers.

However, if I were signing new players this summer, Henderson would be my number one choice.

Signing a veteran like Henderson may not seem too impressive, but his contribution to keeping Brentford in the Premier League will be significant. I am confident the team can achieve this.

In light of all the changes this summer, having a reliable player is extremely important.

The point is that you know what to expect from Jordan: he is a class professional.

He was the captain of Liverpool when the team won the title.

“Just look and listen to how he behaves. He will show up at training, adhering to all standards — both for young and experienced players.”

Such players become invaluable in moments of luck and when facing difficulties.

The staff and the team can rely on his experience in tough times.

With a career like Henderson's, playing for England and winning trophies with Liverpool, he cannot be a bad person or inexperienced player.

He will be a great example for the team and among the players. The locker room can be quite a challenging place, and you are not always there as a coach.

You need someone to rely on, who will keep everyone on the right track.

I had older players when I worked at Portsmouth, and it was not always easy to convince fans and owners that you were doing everything right — but they really change the situation.

When we made our last push for promotion, I signed Paul Merson (34), Steven Stone (31), and Tim Sherwood (33).

When we got into the Premier League, I also brought in Teddy Sheringham, who was already 37 at that time.

I chose players who were not only excellent professionals but also could fit into the team and do their job.

PREMIER LEAGUE TOURNAMENT

Premier League coaches know what they are signing up for, but some dismissals and conflicts early in the season seem absurd.

We have already witnessed the dismissal of Nuno Espírito Santo from Nottingham Forest, who replaced Graham Potter after his resignation from West Ham.

Ang Postecoglou, who took Nuno's place at Forest, is already facing misunderstandings from fans and calls for his dismissal.

This is indeed a very poor start to his reign, there is no doubt about that. But one cannot expect him to come in and have an instant impact — with such a number of matches, he has not had time for any influence.

The fact that Forest exceeded all expectations last season is also undisputed.

A few players have lost form, some have left.

He has a tough job ahead, and he needs to be evaluated as the season progresses.

Enzo Maresca also faced rumors regarding his future at Chelsea.

The reaction to a few bad results is crazy. He is lacking key players even though he has a large squad. Even when everyone is fit, Chelsea has issues.

They need to adjust the squad as I could never call their best squad — for every position, there are two players, and there is no significant difference between them.

This sounds great, but it will be very hard to pick a team and keep everyone happy.

If things continue to go poorly at some clubs and there are changes in January, that’s not a problem. But it is very unfair to put the burden on the managers at this point.

These were players who had already succeeded at a high level.

Like Henderson, Sherwood was the captain of a team that won the Premier League title when he played for Blackburn.

In tough situations, you need people to rely on, and who players will quickly believe in.

Henderson has shown that he is not just an experienced player.

He showcased his skills, particularly with his assist against Chelsea, which helped Brentford secure several important victories.

He is still part of the England squad under Thomas Tuchel and, in my opinion, simply has to go to the World Cup next summer.

Gareth Southgate left Henderson out of his plans for the last Euros, but this midfielder has participated in six major tournaments with the 'Three Lions,' and he knows all the potential obstacles players can face in the summer.

I can't say he should start the match, but he certainly won't just be a bystander.

There are many young players in the team who are participating in a major tournament for the first time, and he will be a true leader.

This World Cup is different from all previous ones, as there will be more matches and, judging by the Club World Cup, there can be unfavorable weather conditions.

He will keep everyone optimistic when things are not going well.

And if he is needed on the field, you can be sure he will deliver everything the manager expects from him.

The 'Bees' have a long way to go before he starts thinking about next summer.

However, he never loses focus and is always attentive to the match with Manchester City.

Kit Andrews has always been someone I thought could become a great coach, and Brentford has already taken four points from home matches against Chelsea and Manchester United.

The arrival of City in west London will pose a completely different challenge, but with players like Henderson, they will pull together to the maximum and maintain compactness.

If they can get a point in this match, they will be extremely pleased.
