Jordan Henderson Hopes Liverpool Form Can Earn him England World Cup Call
Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson hopes his form for the Reds this season could earn him a place in England squad for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The 23-year-old has started in every league game for Brendan Rodgers' side this season. He has scored three goals so far, which includes a double against Liverpool's 4-3 victory over Swansea City.
Henderson has been one of the key players behind the Merseyside club's impressive form this season. Liverpool are second in the league table with 59 points and trail the league leaders Chelsea by four points with 10 games remaining in the season.
The former Sunderland midfielder remains hopeful that he can continue his brilliant run in the league till the end of the season, which could eventually hand him a place in the national squad for the World Cup in the summer.
"I'm playing with a lot of confidence and I'm loving playing football at the minute. Things have been going well for Liverpool and to get another call up for England gave me a boost as well. Hopefully I can keep going for the rest of the season," Henderson told Liverpool Echo.
"It would mean everything to me to go to the World Cup and represent my country. First and foremost, I need to do a job for Liverpool. I'll give my all between now and the end of the season. If I do that then I will have a good chance."
Henderson, along with his club teammates Steven Gerrard, Daniel Sturridge, Raheem Sterling and Glen Johnson, started for England during their 1-0 win over Denmark at Wembley.
Sterling made his second appearance for the national side and the winger's brilliant display earned him the man of the match award. Henderson has heaped praise on the 19-year-old for his performance against Denmark and has urged him to continue his form for the club for the rest of the campaign.
"Raheem has been fantastic for us at Liverpool and he was again tonight He was really positive and wanted to get on the ball all the time and get at players," Liverpool midfielder said.
"Nothing fazes Raheem. He was outstanding and hopefully he can continue playing like that between now and the end of the season."
