Steven Gerrard Confident Liverpool Are Genuine Title Contenders Ahead of New Season
After a heartbreaking finish to last season—losing the English Premier League title to Manchester City in the final moments—and a disappointing World Cup campaign with England, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is looking ahead with renewed optimism.
With just twenty days remaining before the new Premier League season kicks off, Gerrard told Liverpool’s official website that this time, the Reds are better prepared to mount a serious title challenge.
“I think this is the first time in a long time that I can confidently tell the fans that we are real title contenders,” Gerrard said. “We’re in a much better position than we were last year, before the league started. Now we have the experience, the know-how and the taste of a title race.”
After narrowly missing out on the crown last season, Gerrard believes Liverpool have learned valuable lessons that will help them push harder this year. The captain’s confidence signals a determined Liverpool squad ready to fight for the Premier League trophy in the coming months.
