“Gerrard legend of Liverpool”, Clopp: I always want to beat my friend

Steven Gerard took the lead in Aston Villa a month ago and returned today as an opponent to “Anfield”, the stadium where he spent the most beautiful years as footballer and captain of Liverpool.

“The Reds” was awarded a penalty returned to a goal by Momo Salah to get the next 3 points, while Coach Jurgen Klopp stopped at Gerard in the proposal given after the match.

Local fans reserved a fantastic reception for their idol, while the two trainers were seen after the end of the meeting, conversing together.

“Steven congratulated us on the victory and I thanked him for the good words. We made it, but it's not a good time to talk about this fight.

No one and nobody get between me and Steven, we're both guys who are very focused on our fights. That's the idea of this game, you can be somebody's best friend and when you play against it you want to beat it.

I had the same feeling about David Wang in the past. The fan's reception was the right one, but returning to Annfield was certainly difficult for Steven.

He is a legend of Liverpool, we can't change it now, nor should we. Aston Villa played very well, no doubt they fought today for a positive result, also pushed by Gerard”, Jurgen Klopp stressed.
