Jordan Henderson was happy with his debut for Ajax in yesterday's 1-1 draw with PSV.

The former Liverpool captain played a full 90 on the day.

It was a good match," Henderson told ESPN. The atmosphere was great and there were two teams that wanted to win. It was a special day for me and my family. It was very special to play in this stadium. It's a great stadium.

I was a bit nervous before the match, but it was more of a healthy tension: wanting to play. I haven't played such a big match in a while. It was a great feeling and the team is great.

What else can we expect from me? I always give 100 percent for the team, for the club. And what can't you expect from me? Well, I'm not going to score every week," the midfielder laughed.

I can certainly do things better, but it was an honor and privilege to be on the field. I feel fit and have completed ninety minutes, so I'm happy with that. Unfortunately we couldn't score the winning goal."
