Alisson explains Jordan Henderson Liverpool importance and why he 'looks for' him during games

Alisson Becker has praised Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson and explained why he has so much trust in his team-mate.

The Reds skipper has been at Anfield for 11 years, after his move from Sunderland in 2011. In contrast, Alisson is about to have his fifth season as a Liverpool player.

Henderson recently released a documentary entitled ‘Jordan Henderson is Never Done’. In the programme, Alisson is interviewed where he speaks very highly of the Liverpool skipper.

Alisson explains why he often tries to find Henderson on the pitch when he has the ball. The goalkeeper went on to describe the importance that Henderson has on himself and the rest of the Liverpool squad.

“I look a lot to him because he is really visible on the pitch, the way he moves, and he is someone that really runs for the team," the Brazilian said.

“As we have a team that likes to build up from behind, we need players in midfield always giving options.

“For me, Hendo is a guy that I look for building up. He is always making an option, even if he has a man at his back and he is a guy who can do that.

“So, I really trust him to give the ball and then he can do anything he wants and is capable of doing.”
