The head coach of Liverpool Jurgen Klopp stood up for the defense of the captain of his team, Jordan Henderson.

Jordan Henderson took over the captain's armband from Stephen Gerrard after the current coach of the Liverpool youth team left Enfield in the summer of 2015.

Nevertheless, recently Liverpool fans often criticize the game and leadership qualities of Henderson.

"Being the captain of Liverpool is the most difficult job in the football world, because before you the bandage was worn by Steven Gerrard. But, sorry, he no longer plays football, we can not return it, "- said Klopp.

"Everyone should respect the fact that Jordan Henderson is our captain, because he deserves them to be and he is suitable for this person. He is a very important player for us, even though the captain can not play all the time ".

In the current season, the 27-year-old Henderson held 18 games for Liverpool in all tournaments in which he scored one goal and gave one assists.
