Jordan Henderson, a professional football player for the England team, was not selected for the Euros squad. After England's disappointing draw with Denmark at Euro 2024, Henderson took to social media to show his support for his former teammates and address the critics. The Three Lions' Euros campaign has not gone as planned, with a lackluster 1-0 win over Serbia followed by a 1-1 draw with Denmark.
Despite Harry Kane opening the scoring for England, a stunning strike from Morten Hjulmand brought the game level. The team seemed to struggle in attack and midfield, leading to harsh criticism from pundits and fans. Even star players such as Kane, Declan Rice, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Phil Foden, and manager Gareth Southgate were not spared from the negative commentary.
While it is clear that England's performances have not been up to par, some players have tried to remind fans that the team still has four points from two games and is currently at the top of Group C. Right-back Kyle Walker, who replaced Henderson as England's vice-captain, spoke about the need for the team to work together and improve their build-up play. He also acknowledged that in tournament football, small mistakes can have a big impact.
Walker's comments earned praise from Henderson, who watched the game from home after surprisingly being left out of the Euros squad despite being a key player for the team for the last decade. On his Instagram, Henderson shared Walker's sentiments and called for fans to get behind and trust the team, rather than focusing on the negativity.
Unfortunately, the criticism is likely to continue until England can find their footing in the tournament. With a crucial game against Slovenia coming up, it is expected that Southgate will make some changes to try and improve the team's performance. However, for now, Henderson and his former teammates are urging fans to support and believe in the team as they continue their journey in the Euros.
