Liverpool have produced a number of outstanding academy players, including Steve McManaman, Jamie Carragher, Michael Owen, Curtis Jones and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
One of the best of these is former England midfielder Steven Gerrard. A highly capable player in both attack and defence, he was a complete player, with his rapid acceleration, outstanding long and short passes, powerful mid-range shooting and top-level leadership that helped him win the Champions League.
Although he was never a Premier League winner, he remained loyal to Anfield until his departure for the USA, and the love he received from the supporters was something special.
And French midfielder Adrien Rabiot was one of those who were captivated by his game, and he was named one of the top three players in the history of football, along with former Brazilian midfielder Kaka and former French midfielder Zinédane Zidane.
“In the top 3, it would be Kaka, he was one player I found, uh, very elegant, able to score, to make others score, to be a player who attacked but was still part of the collective. This is the kind of player I like.”
“Zidane, obviously, for the same reasons, the same characteristics. On top of that, he is French, we grew up with him, he was an iconic French player and he did some extraordinary things.”
“The player I really like was, Steven Gerrard. Since he was very young, he is a player who played his entire career at Liverpool.”
“He was an iconic player for Liverpool, and in the Premier League, who is able to attack, to defend, who had an incredible shot, who scored a lot of goals, who was also a player who worked for the collective, who put his team first and this is the kind of player and character that I like.”
