The Reds captain touched on the question of when he will leave the field of play

One of Liverpool's most important midfield players, Jordan Henderson, has shown signs that suggest he will continue to play football at the highest level, even if his 32 years are an indicator that he will soon begin a gradual decline in his level that will not allow him to be as effective as he is today for both England and Liverpool, a team that has already begun a generational change that could soon affect the midfield.

According to The Mirror, Jordan Henderson has indicated that he still feels in his best physical and footballing shape even though his thirties have already taken their toll, seeing in the experience of all his important matches such as World Cups, European Championships and Champions League finals, an opportunity to continue growing as a footballer and continue contributing to his institution and the national team that he represents today.

When the Briton compared himself with 36 and 37 year old players who are still in constant international activity, he said he feels perfect because he takes as a reference all the games he had in 2021-2022, even believing that he was one of the players who played more games in Europe, that constancy undoubtedly places him as one of the most valuable players for Jurgen Klopp who today more than ever is in need of those quality players who are constant at all times.

For some Reds fans, the 32-year-old British midfielder is beginning to see a little more than what he is currently able to contribute to the team led by the German coach, while another sector of the fans see in Henderson that vital element that no matter what happens continues to prove to be at a good level and at the heights of the demands that Premier League football has for this 2022 where things have not gone quite right for the Anfield team at the moment.

<strong>For now, he is not thinking about retirement</strong>

In Henderson's best moments, Liverpool were able to shine brightly in the attack orchestrated by both Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, and although today both Klopp and Liverpool are looking for Jude Bellingham to be the new king of midfield, the Reds captain could stay on for a while longer and be that guide for the new elements that are coming in, as is the case with Roberto Firmino and Luis Díaz.
