If you did not know any different, it looks like a concerted charm offensive, a pincer movement from two towering Anfield figures.
First up, Steven Gerrard lavishes praise on Jude Bellingham in a live TV interview after England’s win over Ukraine at Wembley.

It is an open secret Liverpool want to be on the front line of this summer’s inevitable battle for Bellingham and the cynical might suggest Gerrard and Henderson are trying to butter him up. But the obvious truth is that there is no-one in the game who is not blown away by Bellingham’s brilliance and maturity.
