Liverpool will win Europa League, says Gerrard
November 25th, 2009 - 4:48 pm ICT by ANILondon, Nov 25(ANI): Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard has said that after the disappointing Champions League exit, he wants the Liverpool to win the Europa League.
Liverpool crashed out of European football’s biggest tournament despite beating Debrecen 1-0 in Hungary, but the 29-year-old insists they can go some way to healing the pain by going all the way in the Europa League.
“Of course it’s disappointing, we played fantastically well tonight and despite getting three points, we don’t progress,” The Sun quoted Gerrard, as saying.
“Hopefully, now we’ll be in the Europa League, so we’ll try to win that,” he added. Gerrard said that though the Europa League is a lesser known competition, but they have to move ahead.
“The main prize has gone and to be playing in the Europa League is disappointing, but we have to accept that, move on and try to win that competition,” Gerrard said. “The only consolation in this is if we go on and win the secondary one,” he added. (ANI)
