For all the trophies, assists and iconic moments, though, the early part of his Liverpool career was built on patience rather than immediate reward. Henderson reveals Robertson training work Speaking in The Anfield Wrap’s One Of Us: Becoming Andy Robertson documentary , Henderson explained how difficult the jump to Liverpool can be, using his own move from Sunderland as a comparison. The former Liverpool captain said: “Liverpool is a different beast compared to a lot of clubs.
Even when I was coming from Sunderland, it was a big, big step up for me. ” Henderson then added: “When you’re coming from a club like Hull, with all due respect, Liverpool is just in a different world in terms of everything – the pressure, the media, the fan base. ” That context matters because Robertson didn’t walk straight into Jurgen Klopp’s team.
In December 2017, during his first season at Anfield, the Glaswegian made only his third Premier League start for the club, which shows how limited his early chances were. Henderson, though, saw what was happening away from the spotlight. He said: “I could see what’s going on in the background.
“He’s out on his own doing one-v-one training with the coaches. He’s doing crossing on his own, working on his crossing and preparing himself for when he gets that opportunity. ” Robertson turned patience into Liverpool greatness That is the detail which sums Robertson up better than any statistic.
