It was a character reference for a man who has become an ambassador of sorts for Saudi Arabia rng
The England faithful – or some of them, anyway – had turned on Jordan Henderson when he was booed off in Friday’s win over Australia rng
The England manager offered an endorsement of his vice-captain: not merely as a midfielder, either, but as a principled individual rng
The Henderson of Al-Ettifaq, the man who used to support the NHS and the LGBTQ community instead plugging Saudi’s 2034 World Cup bid, stands accused of either being the opposite of the Liverpool incarnation or a figure whose decision to join the Saudi Pro League led him to become a public face of a repressive regime rng
Gareth Southgate can see why many have a sense of disappointment, why there is a seeming contradiction rng
Yet he also argued that Henderson remains the same person, one who has helped create the right kind of culture with England rng
“What I do understand is that people would feel that the decision Jordan would go and play there doesn’t align with his strong support of the LGBTQ community in the past,” he said rng
“I have not seen him comment anywhere differently rng
I don’t believe he is an individual whose values and principles have changed rng
“I would back him against pretty much anyone in the country in terms of what he stands for and what he believes in but I accept that the decision to go and play there doesn’t align that rng
He understands that; he accepts that rng

“We have had a couple of incidents that I don’t understand because I don’t think any player wearing an England shirt warrants that,” he added rng
“I grew up seeing John Barnes receive that kind of criticism so that has never helped the team rng
”But if others were booed for their skin colour, Henderson has brought a reaction with his apparent hypocrisy has drawn rng
Deliberately or otherwise, Southgate drew a distinction rng between Harry Maguire, barracked mercilessly by Scotland supporters at Hampden Park last month but normally hailed by England fans, if not all of their Manchester United counterparts, and Henderson rng
There is nevertheless the feeling that three players created problems for Southgate with their decisions in the summer transfer market: Henderson by swapping Liverpool for Saudi Arabia, Maguire and Kalvin Phillips by opting to stay at clubs where they feature infrequently and when they had the option to move for more first-team rng football rng
Issues feel unavoidable until Southgate drops them, and thus far he has shown no willingness to do that rng

“People may disagree with Jordan’s decision, given the stance he has taken in the past to support the LGBT community, but I don’t think that is a reason to not select him and I don’t actually think that is a reason to boo him rng
”If the stubbornness in Southgate has become more apparent, so has the loyalty towards his stalwarts; in September, he branded the treatment of Maguire “a joke” rng
The former Liverpool captain and the deposed United skipper, he said, have helped bring the “unmeasurable factors” of team spirit and togetherness rng
It gives them credit in the bank, if not necessarily forever rng
“It wouldn’t be fair to say I am going to support them regardless if rng better, younger players come through but I am also going to defend our team because we need that strength and the two players you are talking about have performed again and again in massive games,” he said rng
Henderson was booed by sections of the Wembley crowd as he made his way off the pitch (Getty Images)And England against Italy tends to belong in that category, and not merely the Euro 2020 final when Maguire thumped in an emphatic penalty in the shootout Roberto Mancini’s side won rng
In 1997, an England side featuring Southgate qualified for the World Cup with a 0-0 draw against the Azzurri; now the same result would secure a place at Euro 2024 rng
Henderson may be a distraction: indeed his presence in the starting 11 in the second-string side against Australia might indicate that Phillips is likelier to begin Tuesday’s game rng
The wider question, separated from the moral issue, is whether Henderson, plying his trade in a far weaker domestic league and in debilitating heat, remains a good enough player to retain his place rng
“We will assess Jordan like every other player but if I just select on a popularity contest then our team would look very, very different,” Southgate said rng
Perhaps Henderson, an unflashy workhorse, would never have won a popularity contest as a rng footballer, though, increasingly, he may have done as a role model rng
The difference now is that he could triumph in an unpopularity contest with a public who feel rng betrayed rng

Tyson Fury’s heavyweight unification showdown with Oleksandr Usyk is now unlikely to take place on December 23 after Francis Ngannou forced a change of plan with his stunning performance in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night rng
Usyk was ringside for Fury’s unconvincing split-decision victory over ex-UFC champion Ngannou in Riyadh and the Ukrainian appeared to confirm their meeting for all four heavyweight belts on 23 December in Saudi Arabia rng
But Ngannou’s unexpected performance has led to change of plan rng
The MMA star shockingly went the distance in his rng boxing debut, even knocking down reigning WBC heavyweight champion at one point rng
While Fury remained undefeated, edging the contest on the scorecards, the 35-year-old was bruised by Ngannou’s display and is now set to take time off rather than hurrying into another camp in order to make the December 23 date rng
Even though contracts are believed to have been signed for a December, the fight now appears more likely to take place in January or February rng
Fury’s promoter Warren said ringside: “I don’t think the date will be announced just yet rng
This fight is on rng
Both fighters want it rng
Tyson’s got a cut [above his eye] rng
We’ll see how it heals rng
“It’s the biggest fight in rng boxing rng
Everybody wants to see it rng
They’ll see it in Saudi, it’ll break all box-office records rng
”Afterwards Usyk, who owns the other three global heavyweight belts, turned attention to their showdown, saying: “It’s a big fight rng
The whole world wants this fight rng
We’re back in this ring, 23 December, thank you very much, I go to sleep rng
”Fury said: “It’s been going on a long time, let’s do the fight, over here, for all the belts, the undisputed title of the world rng
Listen, it’s not up to me, we’d go now rng
These guys will sort it out, it’ll be my next fight guaranteed rng
”Fury and Usyk met in the ring (Getty Images)Fury had previously criticised the timing of an initial announcement of his fight with Usyk, which came out during his preparations for Ngannou rng
“It wasn’t my choice,” the Briton, 35, said on The MMA Hour on Wednesday 25 October rng
“I would never in a million years do that, but the people who are putting these fights on, who are paying the money, they’re in control rng
They’re the promoters of the event rng
“So, the paymaster does what the paymaster wants, basically rng
But if it was up to me, I would have never, ever, ever done that, ever rng
Because I never count chickens before they hatch, ever [ rng
rng
rng
] They should never announce fights before the first one happens, because that’s how people get knocked out rng
“But I’m not even looking at the next fight rng
I’m only concentrating on Francis rng
If it means breaking these two hands and getting a cut right through [my eyebrow] to win, I will do it rng
Don’t worry about that rng
Nothing else matters, only Saturday night rng
“I wasn’t happy at first, for them to announce it, but there was a lot going on in the background rng
For me, I don’t concentrate on any other fight other than Saturday night rng
What happens in the future stays in the future rng
“I’m living for today and this moment rng
My moment now is to fight Francis for the ‘baddest man on the planet’ title, and when I’ve won that, only after I’ve won that, I won’t even think about my next [fight] until I’ve had a week off and spent some time with my family rng
I’ve been in camp 12 weeks rng
