Live broadcast, October 16 -henderson was booed by English fans in the match against Australia. During the interview, the players once again said that they were not politicians and went to Saudi Arabia to make football better.
Speaking of whether to regret the decision after being criticized, Henderson said: “I don’t regret it. I am not surprised by the criticism. I can understand the reason they said, but the reality is, I look at this matter from different angles. I can understand criticism and I must accept this fact. But I have been saying that this has not changed me. I came to a different country to play football. I want to try my best to improve the level of the Saudi Football League and also try my best to do off-site things. This is the direction I have been working hard.”
“What I do is football. I am not a politician. Do you understand what I mean? I will not get involved in politics. All I do is focus on my football and try my best to help those who need my help. When I play, I just play football, try my best to improve the league level, improve my team level and win the game. It is the same when I come to the national team.”
“It is certainly not good to be booed by my own fans, but people have their own opinions. When I meet people on the street, they will still say some positive words. It doesn’t matter if I want to Boosh me because I went to another country. As I said, everyone will have an opinion on me playing in Saudi Arabia.”
“I have explained the reasons before. Whether I believe me depends on people, but when I come here to play for England, it will not change anything. I will do my best. Of course, I am disappointed with the boos, but it will not change what I have done here. I want to continue playing football, fighting and helping the team succeed.”
Speaking of why they support Saudi Arabia to bid for the World Cup, Henderson said: “I think they will hold a pretty good World Cup, which is a breathtaking moment for their country. If they can finally get the right to host the World Cup, this will be a special World Cup. I have been there for two months and there is no problem. Looking at the World Cup in Qatar, their work is very good. This is a very good event. I think the fans also enjoy the game, so Saudi Arabia is no exception.”
Speaking of whether I can participate in Europe next year, Henderson said: “I am playing in that league now, and I will always be there. I had talked with the coach before, and I thought that in Liverpool at that time, I made the right choice. The list of European Cup is a major decision. I think I can still participate in the competition normally. Of course, maybe I can no longer play in the Premier League.”
“But I think that when you discuss this issue, you are talking about the physical condition, which is not a problem for me. I am an experienced player until how to play football. When you go to different leagues, you will not forget this. So when I came back here, came back for training, and came here to compete, I felt as good as before. Seeing my body data and my output in the competition, whether in Saudi Arabia or England, I think this is not a problem.”
“This is also why I want to play for England as long as possible, which means a lot to me. I want to try my best to help the team succeed in the competition and in the competition, I hope I can maintain this performance and keep healthy, and then join the team in the summer European Cup next year.”
