I’m sure Steven Gerrard has been harassed all week by calls from his friends, his father, his brother, all reminding him that he has to beat Manchester City on Sunday.
It’s all right, Stevie is a big boy. He has never been a man to hide or turn off his phone, he will grab him by the chin and of course he will understand that he himself is a big Red, but this will not make him lose focus or deviate from the plan. of the game, which is heading to the Etihad.
He will know better than anyone what Sunday means for Liverpool as a city and its supporters. I’m sure he would have preferred to play City so he could do his old club a favor instead of making Villa go to Anfield.
Steven Gerrard will not take credit if he helps Liverpool to Jurgen Klopp to win the league
As a manager, Stevie has been good at breaking away from emotional things he can’t control. So he may have had one or two jokes with his friends from Merseyside, but closer to the day of the match, his energy will be to make sure that his team is set up correctly, because you have to be cute and smart against City.
If there is any hope for Liverpool fans, it is that Villa gave Pep Guardiola a really good game at Villa Park and they were probably unlucky to lose 2-1.
Liverpool fans sing Stevie’s name before most of the games anyway, I heard it at Wembley when I watched the Carabao Cup final, but it will be sung with added pleasure at Anfield at three-thirty on Sunday.
Despite Gerard’s strong connection with Liverpool, he will be entirely focused on Aston Villa
Gerard may rule Liverpool one day, but inheriting Klopp will be a big challenge
One day Stevie may be the manager of Liverpool, but if he helps Jurgen Klopp win four, following the German at Anfield will be an impossible job, because you can’t get better than winning four trophies! Although Stevie will be happy if he succeeds in City and Liverpool regains the title, he will not pat himself on the back or try to take away Klopp’s credit – this will be Klopp’s achievement.
Nor do I think it will increase or decrease his chances of one day taking over at Anfield.
Klopp will be there for a while and when it comes time to find a replacement, the owners will choose the next candidate in their job for a certain period of time, not 90 minutes.
