Jordan Henderson sends message to Kyle Walker after controversial post-match interview

Jordan Henderson has praised Kyle Walker’s post-match interview after England’s disappointing draw against Denmark.

England drew 1-1 with Denmark in their second Euro 2024 match on Wednesday.

Harry Kane opened the scoring, but the Danes equalized thanks to Morten Hjulmand’s long-range goal.

After the match, Gareth Southgate angered fans with his comment about the England midfielder.

And people weren’t impressed with Walker’s immediate reaction to the outcome.

Speaking to the BBC, the Manchester City defender said: “We’re top of the group, so let’s try to take the positive.

“We didn’t lose. We conceded a great goal from outside the box.”

He added: “They had the upper hand in certain parts of the game, so we had to start thinking ‘what if?’

“The coach expressed that he wanted us to play attacking football, but in tournament football you have to adapt.”

Walker was criticized after his post-match interview but Henderson, who failed to make Southgate’s 26-man squad, jumped to his defence.

He urged fans to support and trust the England team.

The former Liverpool player uploaded an image of Walker during his interview, alongside the caption: “Well said Kyle Walker. Too much negativity! Support each other and trust this team!!!”

England cricket star Ben Stokes also welcomed Walker’s interview.

On hindsight and negativity to the pundits, yes….come to England.”

As Walker mentioned in his post-match interview, England currently sit top of Group C after two matches.

They have four points to their name, two points ahead of second-placed Denmark.

The Three Lions resume their Euro campaign next Tuesday against Slovenia.

A victory against Slovenia would put them at the top of their group.
