Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson is grateful to manager Brendan Rodgers for backing him this season.
This season Henderson has been a Kop inspiration, helping the Reds finish second and booking himself a seat on the World Cup plane to Brazil.
Henderson said: "I feel as though I've become a better player in many areas.
"I've still got a long way to go, no doubt, but I feel as though I'm improving. I'm enjoying my football.
"The manager has helped me with a lot of things and hopefully I can keep working even harder to become better. If I do that, I'm sure I can keep going in the right direction and that's the same for the team.
"The manager has been key. He's been amazing for me personally and I'm sure that's the same for everybody else in the team as well.
"The things he can do on and off the pitch for the players is fantastic and he has a great relationship with us.
"That's just the type of person he is. He's a great manager and I'm sure everybody will want to thank him for this season."
