Description
Eight weeks on sinceLiverpool made it six in Madrid, we catch up with Jordan Henderson’s former academy coach at Sunderland, Kevin Ball. Ball, who’s worked as a mentor through Henderson’s career, catches up with Blood Red a year on from reflecting on Champions League and World Cup heartbreak for his former protege to explain the characteristics behind the Liverpool captain’s determination to make amends. Through the course of the interview, Ball and host Guy Clarke touch on the makings of Henderson from a youngster on the training pitches at Sunderland to lifting the European Cup in Madrid. They delve into the mental toughness to bounce back from adversity to lead the Reds to number six as well as the humility shown in wanting to share the moment with manager Jurgen Klopp and team-mate James Milner. As well as the mental aspects, there’s a profile of his technical abilities and how that’s put him in a position to be a leader for both club and country. And moving forward, Ball gives an insight into the mindset of the captain as Liverpool look to go one further than last season in the Premier League, ahead of the new season getting underway in just 13 days.
