Gerrard: “Let’s hope he is the next Steven Gerrard”

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is confident that new signing Jordan Henderson will be a success at Anfield. He told Liverpoolfc.tv:

“It’s a really positive signing. Let’s hope he is the next Steven Gerrard. That’s what good football clubs do – they replace their best players. Liverpool needs a new Steven Gerrard and it will need a new Jamie Carragher. I saw Jordan at first hand for two or three days with England and he is a good player with energy.”

Gerrard was also very confident on his fitness levels for next season:

“I have confidence in what I can do. I am going to be in the best condition physically going into this season that I have been for the last 10 years. I am working doubly hard on my body, on my core and on strengthening my groin, which I have suffered with. The operation went well and I have nearly double the strength in the groin now than before. The physios at Liverpool are measuring that on a weekly basis and the results show that. I know I will be rusty in friendlies but I have confidence that I am going to be the freshest I have been, both mentally and physically, for a long, long time.”
