coaching england break
I am gonna go into my coaching badges after my England days are finished and I have the time on my international break.
soccer thinking hands
We were massive underdogs at the beginning of the competition and I'll put my hands up say and I didn't think we were going to go all the way. But, as you can see, we are never beaten. The manager told us to keep our chins up, to try and score early in the second half and give some respect for the fans. The first goal gave us a bit of belief. The supporters have saved up for weeks and months to come here. I am so happy to lift the cup for the fans.
soccer football expectations
We are Liverpool Football Club and the expectations are so high.

The last player you want the ball to go to is the best player on the planet.
football league months
It's probably been the worst three months of my life.

Obviously the fans are very important to me, in fact they mean everything to me and they are the people I try to please when I play.
soccer frustration suffering
I share their frustration at times and I get down just like them when we suffer a bad result.
thinking player names
I think every player listens out for his name being sung and it's something I really enjoy.
heart player knives
Torres was easily the best player I have ever played with in my career. I loved him. And when he approached me and said he wanted out, it was like a knife to the heart.
soccer mean winning
This club is all about winning trophies and we've got a chance of bringing the greatest trophy of them all back to Anfield, so it means a great deal obviously.
dad moving kids
A mate owned a Bryan Robson top. We were kicking about, and I asked if I could be Robbo for a while. My dad looked out and went ballistic. He wasn’t having his kid dragging the Gerrard name through the gutter. I thought we’d have to move!
born liverpool supporter
I'm born in Liverpool, I'm a Liverpool supporter.
soccer football slap
I tried to nutmeg him. It never came off and he gave me a slap on the back of the head and told me to start behaving
soccer regret wall
It will be the proudest moment of my life leading Liverpool out. I've dreamed of this day since I was a kid, kicking a ball against the wall in the street where I lived. What could be better than leading Liverpool out for the Champions League final? Only lifting the trophy. We need everyone, all 11 players who start and the subs, to be ready to give everything. We need that mentality, when everyone has to put everything on the line for Liverpool. That is what it will take to win. We have to make sure we don't have any regrets at the final whistle.
