That is great to watch.
Not only does it show what a great leader Henderson is, but it's fascinating to hear exactly what footballers are saying to each other on the football pitch.
The Englishman showed his leadership qualities with a text to Jota before he joined Liverpool.
Jota revealed his message earlier this week when asked about how he has settled at the club.
"I have to mention Jordan Henderson", Jota said, per the Liverpool Echo.
"Even before I arrived for my first training session he already texted me, saying that he will be there for me, saying welcome.
"It was a big thing for me and I was not expecting it and I just wanted to thank Jordan for that."
It's crazy to think that Liverpool wanted him to leave a few years ago. What a turn around it has been for the former Sunderland midfielder.
