Steven Gerrard, Daniel Sturridge: Sizzling Interview- Liverpool Football Star Could Join Premier League Rival?

By Kenneth Brown | Oct 31, 2014 09:33 AM EDT

For his entire career, Steven Gerrard has worn the red of Liverpool Football Club, but he has admitted he could leave them for another Premier League side. Is he unhappy with the talent surrounding him? Apparently not, he gave high praise to Daniel Sturridge, but he also admitted he has no idea what the near future holds for him, and he insists he wouldn't be forced to retire if Liverpool turns their back on their veteran hero.

"I can only worry about this season 'cos I'm only contracted until May, he said. "As it stands at the moment, I'm here until the end of the season and want to make the most of it. I certainly won't be retiring this summer. I will play beyond this season. We will have to wait and see if that's at Liverpool or somewhere else. That's Liverpool's decision. If they don't come then I will see what's out there."

Does he listen to the negative fans though? Yes.

"Do I hear it? Of course. There are thousands of them singing it! Does it affect me? No, it drives me on to perform better," he explained. "It has taken time to recover from last season, of course. For players and supporters. It was a huge setback when we fell short. It hit me hard. I'm not looking for excuses but there are collective reasons for our stuttering start this time. We lost a key player, we've had a key player injured and other Premier League sides have improved."

However, he admitted that Sturridge is great, concluding: "Ability-wise he is possibly the No 1 (English) striker I've played with, when you talk about speed, sharpness and skill and different types of goals. Some of the things he does in training blow me away. He could go as far as he wants to go."

Despite his love of Liverpool, could he opt to join an EPL rival?
