Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has revealed how former teammate Luis Suarez would mock him in training.
Henderson, who was only 20 at the time and had just one England cap under his belt, has opened up on his early relationship with the now Barcelona star.
He told Jamie Carragher’s podcast: “I was trying to do the best I can do. Being a footballer, there is criticism and people doubting you all the time.
“At that time, I was a young player and there were one or two things Luis did in training that I didn’t like.
“It made me feel I wasn’t good enough to be in the same team in training.
“The arms were up like ‘what the f***, what is he doing’, like I shouldn’t be there.
“That really hurt me. He did it three times and then I exploded and I was ready to kill him.
“From that point, I had a good relationship with Luis. The next game I set him up for his goal.
“He was brilliant with me after that and I was really close to him after that and he was another big player I learned from.”
