Ｈａｐｐｙ ｎｅｗｓ

The Liverpool skipper, who turns 31 in May, admits he has been lifted by Kenny Dalglish's return as manager in the last fortnight.

But while he wants to carry on playing for as long as possible, he has not considered taking his coaching badges like team-mate Jamie Carragher.

He said: "It's not my main priority or focus at the moment, I still think that's a long way off.

"I believe I can play football for another four or five years but I do sometimes think about what I'm going to do when I finish playing.

"I would like to stay involved in some capacity, whether that's on the media side or in the dugout we'll have to wait and see.

"I will certainly try to get my coaching qualifications at some point."

リバプールのキャプテンでありイングランド代表でもあるジェラードがあと5年はプレーしたいと願っている。しかしこれはベストパフォーマンスができればの話であることも同時に強調していった。

感想
僕の大好きなジェラードがあと5年でも10年でもプレーしてくれればとても喜ばしいことだと思う。
