Liverpool FC captain Steven Gerrard is still dreaming of lifting the Premier League with his hometown club according to The Liverpool Echo.
Gerrard has set the Reds the target of finishing in the top fours this season and also to finish above rivals Everton in the process, but he also feels that the chance to win the Premier League with the Reds is still within his grasp – even though he is in the twilight of his playing career.
With Brendan Rodgers’ men second only on goals scored in the Premier League, perhaps Gerrard’s confidence in his team mates is justified.
However, Gerrard also knows he has to be realistic.
“I am the captain of my boyhood team,” Gerrard said.
“I have a special relationship with staff and supporters. There is a bond there. I’ve never made decisions financially. I make them with my heart – and that’s why I haven’t moved on.
“My only regrets are the times I’ve had lows at Liverpool.
“You’re letting the fans down. That’s hard. You’ve let people down. But I find I have learned more from the lows. The feelings the fans go through at the end of a match – I feel them too.
“There’s a lot at stake every time I pull on a shirt for Liverpool. I’d never say never about our chances of winning the Premier League title. But if I’m being honest, that’s not the aim.
“The aim is for a top-four place – and to finish above Everton.”
