A day on from the
announcement confirming that you will leave Liverpool Football Club in the summer,
how do you feel?
A bit strange. I'm not
going to lie, it's been an emotional 24 hours for myself and my family, but
there are still six months to go and I've still got plenty to try to achieve,
so I am trying to keep my focus on that. There'll be plenty of time for tears
and sentiment come the end of the season. It's been a tough 24 hours and I've
had to do some tough things that I'd never really thought of doing for a long,
long time. Now that it's real, it's a bit of a strange feeling.
What goes through your
mind when making a huge decision like that?
I think first and
foremost, I always have to put my family first - and then I also think about
myself and the club as one, really. I had to make a tough decision about what's
best for all concerned. The reality is I am going to be 35 in the summer. I've
been here for a long time, I've been coming to this training ground since I was
eight years of age. I always knew it was going to end one day and that it was
going to be an emotional decision. That decision is here. People will have
their own opinions on it, but for me I think come the summer it will be the
right time to move on and try something different - come out of the club and
the city and have a look in for a short while, and hopefully have the opportunity
to return.
Was there a particular
moment that made your mind up, that you thought 'this is what I am going to do'?
Yes. There was more than
one moment that has made me come to this decision, but I think the key
conversation or moment was with the manager when he sat me down not so long ago
and said it was time to manage my games for me and for the team. I'm bright
enough to realise it is the right thing for everyone, but when you've been a
starter and a mainstay in the team for such a long time, it was a very
difficult conversation to have with the manager. I accept it and I'll continue
to give everything I've got, whether I'm starting, coming off the bench or
whatever, but that was the key conversation that swung me to deciding to come
away for a short while.
Was it a harsh
realisation, or did you know that was coming?
I had an idea it was
going to come at some time - I'm a human, not a robot. I'm not 24. I wish I was
24, I wish I'd met Brendan when I was 24 because I think I'd be sitting here
talking about a lot of titles that we'd won together. The reality is, Brendan came
into this club when I was 32 years of age and it's a shame that relationship
didn't start 10 years ago. I had an idea the conversation was going to come at
some time, but it was a painful conversation to have and that was the key
moment - along with other things over the last six to 12 months, but that was
the conversation. That was the key one.
As you said, you've got
to consider your family as the No.1 priority, so what was that conversation
like with your wife and your young family?
It was tough to tell the
girls, even though they're not big football fans. They're more into the girly
things in life, but to tell them their dad wasn't going to play for Liverpool
anymore still hit them pretty hard. That's when the emotion started in the
house, that's when it became tough. At the same time, it's exciting - it's a
great opportunity for my family and myself. But yes, it's tough.
But what an incredible
adventure you can take your family on...
Yes, of course. The key
for me now is to finish the season strongly from a personal point of view and
try to achieve something for the team. And try to cheer the fans up - they have
had a difficult six months, like the rest of us. I'm focused now and I told the
manager a couple of days ago when we had a chat that he's got no worries about
me downing tools. I'll be here until the end and keep fighting until the final
ball I kick. I'd love nothing better than to try to win a trophy and leave the
team in the top four. Looking beyond six months, of course it's going to be an incredible
opportunity for me to try something different, because I've lived in Liverpool
all of my life and I've never been out. It will be a change but certainly one
I'm looking forward to.
You had to tell your
teammates as well, a group of men who look up to you so much. What was their
reaction?
I think they were a bit
shocked yesterday. It was as if the whole club had had some bad news. But I
don't want it to be like that. I wanted to do the announcement after the
Leicester game because I didn't want it to affect that game. But life goes on,
it's normal and we carry on working hard for each other. They know what I think
of them but it was also nice for me to see what they think of me as well. That
was touching. But we're all men and we've got work to do. The challenge for us
now is to keep trying to move forward and I'm sure we will.
I assumed that you'd be
quite closed off from the emotion of it, because you've accepted the decision
however long ago. But it seems quite raw for you still...
It's raw and it will be
from now until the end of the season. The messages of support I've had from the
fans, players, staff, media and people who I've worked with for a long time has
blown me away. That's when I've started getting emotional. But I need to be
strong and hold them back because I'm not going yet and I still see this six
months as a very important period for myself and the team. So I need to be
strong, keep playing and after the next couple of days I need to just focus on
performances.
Have you read much of the
reaction?
I can't at the moment. I
keep switching the TV over. I'm replying to messages and stuff, but it's tough.
I didn't realise it would be as big as this. But I've got to move on. The
important people here are the supporters, they are the key to any football
club. I'm lucky enough to play in front of the best ones in the world. Some of
the things that I've seen already and will probably see in the future, it's
tough to move on.
When you are talked about
as a Liverpool legend - something you've been described as for a long time -
how does that sit with you?
It's very flattering and
I'm very humbled by it. To be named in some of the company that I do get named
in is brilliant for me and my family because we're all big Reds, we have
supported the club for a long time and will continue to do so forever. To be
named in the same company as some of the legends and people I look up to is
brilliant, especially for my dad and brother.
You're allowed to be
emotional about it. This club has been such a massive part of your life, but
you've been such a massive part of all of our lives and all the supporters'
lives...
It's been a fantastic
relationship - so strong. I'm one of the luckiest people in the world to have
that.
Steven Gerrard and
Liverpool go hand-in-hand. You've said before that you want to come back and
serve this football club one day. Was that always your long-term plan
regardless of this next move?
I think that's more in
hope. I'll only come back and serve the club if I feel as if I can help. I'll
always be a fan, of course, no matter what happens in the future. But I think
that's something I'll have to consider. I think when you've been part of a club
like this for so long and you've contributed in the way I've tried to, I'd
always want that to stay the same in the future. I wouldn't like to come back
just to be Steven Gerrard the player and just be around. I'd like to help in
whatever capacity that may be. If I sit down with the people who are running
the club at that time and they see a role for me where I can help the team or
help young kids to become players, of course I will consider it because, as you
say, it's been such a big part of my life.
I know you've said you
don't want to speak too much about where you are going to go. But fans will
want to know and everyone will want to know. Have you made your decision?
I appreciate that and
that's why I made the announcement now. I didn't want it to drag through
January and there to be stories in the papers about 'is he staying, is he
coming, is he going there', Brendan facing questions from the media and the
players [facing questions]. I don't think that's fair and I've always tried to
be respectful to other people. I told the manager as early as I could that it
was time to move on. I wanted the announcement out there after the Leicester
game because we had a bigger space between Leicester and the Wimbledon game to
try to get it out of the way, put it to bed and focus on the other games. I can
tell the supporters at the moment that it will be America. I'll be going to
play in America. But I'm not over the line with any team just yet. I'm close
and as soon as I know, I'll make the announcement, I'll do the bits and bobs
that I need to do. Then we try to go and win a trophy and forget about Steven
Gerrard for a bit.
I don't think people will
be forgetting about you any time soon, Steven. There's an important few months
left - plenty to play for. What is the dream scenario?
I think, where I'm
sitting at the moment, realistically, we've still got a chance of finishing in
the top four and that's the most important thing for the club, for obvious
reasons. That would be a great achievement after the start we've made in the
league. But from a selfish point of view, it's always a trophy and it's always
medals, for me. That's what people remember and that's what the club is all
about. It's about success and history. The day you make your debut for this
club, the pressure and the responsibility is on your shoulders to keep
delivering trophies to add to that wonderful history. I've lived with that for
so long and I'll live with it for another six months and try my best to add one
or two more.
When you finally pack up
your locker here at Melwood and you drive out of those gates for the last time,
how do you think you'll feel? Is it possible to anticipate that?
Not at the moment. But
I'm sure it will be tough. The last couple of weeks will be probably how the
last 24 hours have been - very tough. But I'm really proud of what I've done
and hopefully I can write a few more chapters with the team from now to the
end. But the last game and the last couple of training sessions are going to be
torture, because it's so tough to say 'goodbye'. But hopefully it's more of a
'see you soon' rather than a 'goodbye'.
There is a feeling of
tremendous sadness among the supporters. What's your message to them?
It's difficult to give a
message - but, I'm feeling the same. There's still a bit to go and I'd love
nothing better than to walk around Wembley or a big stadium at the end of the
season with a trophy for them.
