Juventus’ midfielder Andrea Pirlo believes that Steven Gerrard can continue to play football for “many years” for both Liverpool and England in a deeper midfield position. Pirlo currently plays in front of his defence for club and country and believes that Gerrard also has the ability to fill that role.
Pirlo said:
“The intelligent players adapt and Gerrard has the ability to do that. He is an excellent passer of the ball, possesses an intelligent football brain, and has great vision. Top European clubs are always progressing with what they can do off the field. Training is getting more scientific, and we are constantly getting more educated on nutrition.
“If you look after yourself and are willing to adapt, there is no reason why you can’t play at the top level until your late thirties. Gerrard is a top professional, it is very possible he has many years left for Liverpool and England in a new role.”
