Liverpool’s captain, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196 has gone on to admit that he is looking forward to playing under Roy Hodgson once again, following the manager’s appointment as the new England boss.
Hodgson and Gerrard previously worked together when the manager was made manager of Liverpool for a brief period of time in the 2010-2011 season. However, that season, Liverpool went on to play rather poorly and Hodgson was shown the door soon after.
The manager failed to make his mark on the side and couldn’t even go on to complete one entire season as the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 boss. He was shown the door in January and Kenny Dalglish came in to replace him soon after.
Despite this rather dubious past that the two have, it seems like Gerrard is more than willing to play under the manager, since he seems to feel he knows the manager and can easily adopt to his tactics and philosophy for the national team.
A statement released by Gerrard is quoted to have said: “I've worked with Roy. He's a good man and a good manager. “
“It's important he's given a chance and I'm looking forward to working with him again.”
At the moment, England are still without a captain. With Hodgson now taking the reins of the team, many believe that he would go on and appoint Gerrard as the national team’s captain. Considering the fact that the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international was captain of Liverpool
under Hodgson, he might find it easier to have someone who he has worked with, captaining his side.
When Hodgson was asked about just who might become the captain of the team, he responded by stating: “Will Gerrard be England captain? That's another thing that will have to be carefully thought out. It's one of the things that will occupy my time in the
days ahead."
At the moment, it is still unclear what squad Hodgson is going to use in the Euro 2012 and just what players he is going to be using in the tournament.
Nonetheless, Hodgson is bound to reveal his squad list and his captain in the near future.
