Liverpool forward Diogo Jota says it's the first time he's played with someone like Jordan Henderson in his career.
The Portuguese international joined the Reds in 2020 and has already racked up over 80 appearances for the club. In his first two seasons, he's scored 34 goals and registered nine assists.
The 25-year-old settled in quickly at Anfield and now he's opened up on his relationship with captain Henderson. The striker has revealed the captain is like a manager, but one that's part of the squad.

Jota told the Jordan Henderson is Never Done documentary : “To be honest, it is the first time I had a player like Jordan on the pitch – he tries to speak with you always, not always good words!
"He keeps you pushing forward, the role of being a manager inside the field. I know that I cannot rest for a second because he will be right up against me.”
The documentary, released this week, tells the story of the Reds' skipper through the voices of those who have worked closest with him. Fellow midfielder Thiago also opened up on his teammate and heaped praise on the 32-year-old.
Manager Jurgen Klopp also spoke in depth about his captain and the role Henderson will play in ensuring the squad bounces back from the heartbreak in Paris last month. The Liverpool boss also insisted the success of the team in the last few years wouldn't have been possible without the England international.
