Flamengo boss Jesus names Liverpool's Henderson as the best midfielder in the world

Liverpool's Jordan Henderson is the best midfielder in the world in his particular position, according to Flamengo coach Jorge Jesus.

The Portuguese manager got to see Henderson up close during the Club World Cup final which the Reds ultimately won 1-0 thanks to an extra-time goal from Roberto Firmino.

Henderson played every minute of the match and while his work in midfield often goes unnoticed, Jesus was clearly left impressed by what he saw.
