Mohamed Salah has named Gini Wijnaldum, James Milner, and Jordan Henderson as three players who do not get the credit they deserve for their pivotal roles in Liverpool’s trophy-laden success in recent years.

While the “Egyptian King” has been the headline stealer for Liverpool over the years, Salah was quick to point out that the foundation of the club’s Premier League and Champions League triumphs was built on the backs of these selfless engine-room operators.

Reflecting on the era under Jürgen Klopp, the departing Salah emphasised that individual awards often overlook the tactical discipline and leadership provided by the veteran trio.

Mohamed Salah names trio as unsung heroes for Liverpool

During a recent interview with Steven Gerrard on TNT Sport, Salah named Jordan Henderson, Gini Wijnaldum and James Milner as three teammates who deserve more recognition for their role in Liverpool’s success.

Salah said: “I think people don’t know how good Alexander-Arnold is, but I think he gets a lot of credit.

“But I would say Gini Wijnaldum and Millie [Milner] and Hendo [Henderson]. These guys just, without them, we wouldn’t have won anything.”

Wijnaldum’s role in Liverpool’s success

Gini Wijnaldum was a key part of Klopp’s midfield, known for his ability to retain possession under extreme pressure and his tactical flexibility.

His most iconic contribution, two goals in the historic 4-0 comeback against Barcelona, which remains one of the best European nights at Anfield.

Jordan Henderson’s role in Liverpool’s success

As the captain who hoisted every major trophy, Jordan Henderson’s leadership was the heartbeat of the squad.

He captained Liverpool through their most successful era in recent history. Salah has even called for fans to give him a proper sending off that he deserved but couldn’t receive due to his sudden exit last summer.

In the same interview he said:

“I think last game of the season against Brentford, people in the city knows how much it meant to Hendo also, being captain of the club, being here for 12 years – more than me, more than Virg, more than Robbo, more than anyone.

“He didn’t get the send-off that he deserved because he left suddenly. I don’t know how the club is going to manage it.

“I have no plans, and I don’t know how the supporters will also manage it, but I really wish they do something special for him, because he’s been one of the best players in this club.”

James Milner’s role in Liverpool’s success

James Milner, often referred to as the ultimate professional, was the glue that held the dressing room together.

He was one of Klopp’s favourite players, in fact, he is every manager’s dream player.

Whether filling in at left-back or right-back or dominating the midfield, Milner provided a level of experience and fitness that was indispensable.

These three players represent the selfless spirit that defined Liverpool’s return to the pinnacle of world football.
