Everyone knows who the English mid-fielder Steven Gerrard, who plays for Liverpool is, even those who are not so into football. He used to be a real hero. But now, his fans are very disappointed with him.
Recently, Gerrard announced that he was leaving Liverpool to join a club on the “wrong side” of the Atlantic, where they call football soccer. From next season, he will play for Los Angeles Galaxy, a team in the American Major League Soccer (MLS). As the oldest player in the Liverpool squad, he may have felt he needed to think of a move to not have to sit on the bench.
Steven Gerrard has been part and parcel of Liverpool football for a long time. It is the club he played with as a boy, and on the 4th of February this year, he made his 700th appearance, now as captain of the team. It was a match against Bolton and Liverpool won 1-2. The fans over here want to keep him doing just that: entertain the audience with his great game, and secure goals for the club.
There is a good chance though, that Gerrard will put on the red shirt again in the future. The coaches in Liverpool have said that he is always welcome back – that he is part of the family – and that loans from MLS to European clubs are not uncommon.
