Does Jordan Henderson understand? 'Not really. I don’t know… if people want to boo if I’m playing in a different country, that’s fine.'
Jordan Henderson insists he will not walk away from international football despite being booed off the Wembley pitch by England fans on Friday night.
There was no noticeable negative reaction towards him during September’s double-header against Ukraine and Scotland, but things were different when he captained England in their first home match since his controversial move.There were murmurs when Henderson’s named was read out before the 1-0 friendly win against Australia but a vocal minority very audibly jeered when he was replaced in the second half.“Everybody has got their own opinion.
“But listen, people have got their own opinions. Whenever I bump into anyone on the street it’s always been positive stuff and nice things said. Asked if he understood the jeers, the 33-year-old replied: “Not really. I don’t know… if people want to boo if I’m playing in a different country, that’s fine.“I’ve spoken in the past about the reasons for that. Whether people believe us or not is up to them.
Henderson may have switched Merseyside for the Middle East but he feels enough at home to have already backed Saudi Arabia’s bid to host the 2034 World Cup.
