You have to remember the margins that England went out with against France at the last World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You have to be so sharp, every player on the pitch. Henderson will know he\u2019s put his England future in jeopardy.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cole added that Henderson, who is earning \u00a3700,000-a-week at Al-Ettifaq, &#8216;slipped up&#8217; when claiming in an interview that he didn&#8217;t move to Saudi Arabia for the money.<\/p>\n<p>Henderson showed support for the LGBTQ+ community while at Liverpool but has now moved to Saudi Arabia, where homosexuality is deemed a crime and is punishable by the death penalty.<\/p>\n<p>Cole said: &#8216;Of course I can understand [why LGBTQ+ fans are upset]. I see it from both sides. It\u2019s difficult to talk about.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think where Jordan slipped up is afterwards when he said he wasn\u2019t going there for the money.

He could be doing lots of work in the community with that.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Look, Jordan is a good lad at heart. He\u2019s represented Liverpool and England very well. It\u2019s difficult to talk about.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In an interview this week, Henderson stressed that money wasn&#8217;t a motivation behind his move to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p>Henderson told The Athletic: &#8216;People will see this club come with loads of money and (say) he&#8217;s just gone, when in reality that just wasn&#8217;t the case at all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;People can believe me or not, but in my life and my career, money has never been a motivation.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Henderson stated that he didn&#8217;t intend to hurt the LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8216;I can understand the frustration, I can understand the anger. I get it. All I can say is that I&#8217;m sorry they feel like that. My intention was never, ever to hurt anyone. My intention has always been to help causes and communities where I felt like they had asked for my help.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;My values don&#8217;t change because I&#8217;m going to a different country where the laws might be different. I see that as a positive thing. From their (Saudi) side, they knew that before signing it.
