In an opinion piece for the Liverpool Echo, Aldridge claimed that while a number of Liverpool’s players have put in excellent shifts for the club, their captain outshines them all.
Several Liverpool players have upped their game this season and have propelled the Merseyside club to the top of the EPL table. Aldridge praised Jordan Henderson’s mentality and nominated him as the sole possible recipient of EPL’s most prestigious individual award.
Jordan Henderson a better skipper than EPL’s best defender Virgil van Dijk
According to the legendary EPL striker, Jordan Henderson is the only reason Virgil van Dijk is not Liverpool’s captain. The talented EPL defender has shown exceptional leadership skills and regularly leads Liverpool’s defensive line, but Aldridge has made it abundantly clear that EPL midfielder Henderson’s record as captain is infallible.
The former EPL forward also lauded Henderson for giving Liverpool’s talented group together in the dressing room. The English midfielder has been an inspirational figure under Jurgen Klopp and has mentored many of Liverpool’s youngsters in the first team.
Liverpool is currently sitting pretty on their perch at the top of the EPL table and are only two victories away from their first EPL title in over 30 years. Anfield has been bubbling in anticipation of this moment for decades.
With Jurgen Klopp firmly holding the reins and Jordan Henderson dictating terms on the pitch, the greatest moment in Liverpool’s modern history is all but inevitable.
