This coming Saturday the excitement in the Premier League will be at its peak.
After Steven Gerrard's exciting return to England, this time on the lines of Aston Villa, the coach today (Monday) passed his training on the team and was interviewed on the club's official website.
"I think this club will suit me because I know the fans are very enthusiastic. I know there is demand and pressure here forever, it's something I have lived with since the age of 17-18," said the Englishman who will make his debut against Brighton next Saturday.
On the style of play he would like to instill in his new team: "If you watched my team Rangers, it will give you a good idea of me. Obviously I want to show as much fun and eye-catching football as possible. But one thing I would like to improve is the team structure from a defensive point of view ".
But the biggest meeting of all that everyone is waiting for, will take place on December 11th.
Stevie G. Villa will arrive at Anfield for a fascinating and sweeping encounter against Liverpool, the coach's mythological team and the excitement will be at its peak.
But Gerard is already experienced enough to understand that he will have to put his emotions aside and play football: "I do not think anyone will be able to control the noise around this game, but for me it does not matter. What matters is the opportunity to get to Anfield, win and try to take maximum points. The attitude and mentality we will have in every game. "
