Jordan Henderson has said that the disappointment of failing to win silverware last summer has helped him stay extra motivated to win titles this year.

His Liverpool team came close to winning the Champions League before they were beaten in the finals by Real Madrid. He also went close to win the coveted FIFA World Cup with the English national team only to be undone in the semi-finals by Croatia.

“I think it always stays with you, those moments,” Henderson said. “It gives you even more motivation to keep going, keep wanting to be in that position again to make it right, and go that final step really.”

“It’s definitely an extra motivation that I use. Maybe I had a little taste of it playing in finals but I haven’t really managed to win the big trophies, and now that’s the next step really.

“I don’t really look at it [the experience] as a benefit for me, I look at it as a benefit for the team more than anything.

Henderson’s club team Liverpool are doing well again and are possibly enroute to win the league title after almost three decades.
