AJAX Boss Francesco Farioli sat together Sky Sports News“Paul Gilmour, midfielder, Jordan Henderson, English recall of England, British brought to the Dutch club, and his revival in Ajax.

Jordan Henderson returned to the British squad as Ajax. What is your reaction to that callup?

“It was really good. Because it was in the morning of the game, we had a chance to meet for breakfast, and he came up with this news and of course it was really emotional.

“You know how much he is coming back to the national team, and I think he is really happy for the team, club, and all of us.

Since then, what conversation with Jordan and what did you tell him?

“This type of news is always special. So, with Jordan, we are really well connected from the emotional perspective on everything I have gained from him because he is a fantastic person, a true leader.

“As you can imagine, his experience, his knowledge and his love for the game, is a very unique. As a coach, it is not really difficult to connect with people if people have this desire to improve our normal environment every day.

“He is a player who can just lead a group and move all players in the right direction, and I think his role is crucial in our new journey.

“We must be really happy. We are really happy that he will contribute to the new cycle of the British team.”

It was a great surprise in the UK and is probably a bit of a mix. Some did not expect Henderson to meet again as an English shirt. Are you surprised at all?

No, because he believes he can actually bring things.

“With his spirit and his expertise, you are getting better in this kind of work.

“And now, since the UK is rebuilt, I think you need this type of player and especially humans.”

So what do he give at the age of 34?

“Of course, more than 700 professional games are quite large, so it’s easy to talk about experience.

“But some of this is a passion, passion that he can get better every day despite his age.

“His training is contagious in a positive way. So there’s a leader who can help young players to create certain standards.

“He is a benchmark for everyone, and actually promotes the work of all types of technical staff, especially those who rely on work ethics and thinking.”

You work with him every day, but supporters don’t see so much on the scenes. Can you give a specific example of what he’s bring? You mentioned leadership. Is there a specific example of what people don’t see?

“There are many things.

“For example, as a supporter or reporter, what you see is happening on the day of the game, but the well -prepared preparation, the team’s details and mental state are key.

“In the end, I can’t solve this problem. In the end, even the best ideas can be shared and I can’t do anything if I can’t create a link if I can’t create a link.

“This is actually the starting point of everything. It’s the ability to connect people. First of all, connecting people requires a vision, a clear plan and direction for where you want to go.

“But after you have a human who can believe and step on, all the journey of football will eventually go with faith and what you really feel deeply.

“The first conversation with Jordan is about these types of things rather than talking about football.

“Of course, it was my explanation, part of his role. With us, he is ranked 6th more than the eighth place he did in Liverpool.

“So, I explain how I saw him, why I see him, and how we have the requirements for how we play, but most of all, what is my expectation as a captain?

“After a few conversations, it was easy to decide to give him a armband, and as a coach, I can’t ask your team a better captain.

So we talked about his leadership qualities and human qualities. You mentioned about playing six instead of eight. Is he adapted to the game? Do he show signs of being flexible and can adapt to real games in that time?

“Yes. Obviously. His spirit and his desires to constantly learn from everyone are crazy, so this shows a lot of things about his humility.

“It is also a characteristic that is really important to football players. And his curiosity is always a key element that actually connects with soccer players and connects with people.

“In order to find a new status, discover new demands, and find new ways of playing after winning the Champions League, this means many things.

“As mentioned earlier, about the passion and love for the game, I think no one has his passion.”

You and Thomas Tuchel are on the same page for Henderson. Because Tuchel implements everything we want to build. He is a serial winner. Do you think Jordan can help England to be closer to the World Cup?

“In the morning, I was very funny because I had an interview with normal daily life, so they asked my feelings.

“Of course, I used some key words that Tuchel mentioned at his press conference a few hours later.

“It’s not because we talk between us, but if you have the luck and opportunities you can connect with Jordan and talk with him, his characteristics will be very clear for everyone.

“If you talk about his role in this New England process, there is no doubt and entirely supports the decision of TUCHEL.”

Jordan is a member of your team and after two difficult seasons, we can’t mention the way you have disappeared for you this season. Of course, there are a lot of soccer, but there is a lot of passion between supporters, and there seems to be a really strong connection between you and the team. It would be pretty good to turn this in that way …

“The story for us was very clear and this was the main part of the first dialogue we had with Jordan when we met at the Training Center. We started the story, and we were full of scratches for the club and the players in the last season and last season, especially the last season.

“It is not actually a way of thinking in this difficulty of this difficulty. Now it’s a new page. No, I never like this in football life. It’s not an empty page.

“I thought it was important for the club to keep seeing the pain and pain I’ve seen in any way for the past two years.

“I still think it’s a great idea to remind your skin that you have a signal of pain you have had in the past. So my message about Jordan is a symbolic club of European football, as you can imagine, as you can imagine, realize ourselves after we like what we like.

“The responsibility for this is huge, and we must have a player. But as mentioned earlier, humans who actually want to do something special want to sacrifice everything to give some happiness to the Ajax world.”

You have represented the club with a positive attitude since difficult times and deals with all the pressure from a huge club like Ajax. Have you found a lot of things in the last few years to do so at the age of 35?

“Previous experience in other countries is an opportunity to read a little more about the challenges we face. In every environment, in every country, we always experience other difficulties or other challenges.

“I want to believe that there is no plan to go with everything. So you enter a new club and this is what we’ve done here with our actions, especially from our actions.

“When you go in and come in, it is always important to smell what is happening because there is a picture from the outside, but at the first 5-6 days you can adapt for the first 5-6 days, flexible, understand, and change something from the plan.

“This is always one of the most interesting parts when there is a chance to go to the club and enter the club and access the job with the proper energy and the right atmosphere.

I know some of the pressure like Manchester United and Liverpool in large clubs like Ajax or in the UK. This larger club with real history seems to be much more investigated. Therefore, because of the success in the past, you have to give confidence every time you listen to the public’s praise between someone like Louis Van Gaal and the successful people in historical clubs.

“It’s really powerful to be supported by amazing mentors and symbolic coaches like Van Gaal.

“In a club with this type of legacy, our daily job is obvious that it has a former type of past. I think it is important to have a strong motivation, but it is important for us to have a clear desire to move, move forward and go forward.

“There is no future without the past, but living in the present is really important, and if it is possible, it is important to work a little in the future because soccer changes really quickly.

“You must be part of the change in football, and in this job, you need a lot of humility and curiosity because you need to discuss your thoughts every day and be attacked by others.

“This is the core and the club, the club, is a large club with a very clear DNA, and there is a very clear business model about the fact that young players should develop.

“In addition, we had two new callups in other national teams. Jorthy Mokio is 17 years old and with the first team of Belgium. Youri Baas is also with the first Dutch team.

“So individuals are helping the group grow, and the group is helping individuals achieve their own desires and dreams.”
