You’ll never walk alone, Steven Gerrard

#Gerrard is one of the hottest hashtags on today’s worldwide social media. Millions of soccer fans, even not fans not of Liverpool, express their sad feelings about the news that this legendary captain will leave Liverpool FC, which where he has been since he was 7 years old, at the end of this season.

I can hardly imagine a Liverpool without Gerrard. Since the first day I watched a soccer game, Gerrard has been a great captain who can not only fight until the last minute for the team by himself until the last minute, but also motivated team members. The Final of UEFA Champions League (2004-2005) well demonstrated the role he played in on his team. From 0:3 to 3:3, the great reversion in Istanbul has become a true legend not only in the history of Liverpool FC, but also in the soccer world. Sometimes, as a fan of Man United, I envy that Liverpool has such a captain.

As the soccer is becoming becomes a money machine, it is harder and harder to see a player retiring from a team where he became a legend. From Henry, Raul, Lampard to today’s Gerrard, the royalty of great players seems to be somewhat redundant for a team. No further contribution is the main reason for clubs not to renew the contract with their great players. As for the Liverpool, however, the captain should not be the one responsible for their bad performance in this season. Their manager, Brendan Rodgers, should leave first.

YNWA, captain. Come back soon.
