Liverpool thrashes Napoli 3 goals to 1
The boss of Liverpool football club Roy Hodgson has praised the captaincy of the team’s veteran midfielder and skipper Steven Gerrard in the match against Napoli.
In the match against Napoli on Thursday the thirty year old English team ace midfielder displayed the best of his capabilities by leading the team from the front and snatching a very important victory for Liverpool.
In the match against Napoli, Gerrard played the best game ever when his team needed him the most as at the end of the first half of the match Napoli was leading the match by one goal to zero.
The English football team captain Steven Gerrard joined the match in the second half and recorded three marvellous goals to gift a very much needed victory to Roy Hodgson and his team.
After the match the sixty-three year old former Fulham manager, Roy Hodgson, expressed his thoughts excitedly and told the media that it was truly a captain’s knock from the thirty-year old and the game displayed by Steven Gerrard was no doubt matchless.
Hodgson said that the performance of Gerrard has given a new life and inspiration to all the other players and finally the fans of the team Liverpool have seen what they were waiting to see for a long time. Hodgson added and said that the presence of Gerrard
in the team was the true difference between the Napoli and Liverpool team and the skipper led the team to the victory by leading from the front.
It is to be noted that team Liverpool was down by one goal from Ezequiel Lavezzi before the half time. In the second half of the match the skipper recorded the first goal for the Liverpool football team with the help of Andrea Dossena. Later after that
the Briton converted a penalty kick into a goal and settled the brawl in a staggering way.
While talking about the performance of the team in the match the manager Hodgson said that the team was not fighting well in the first half of the match as they missed some very good opportunities of netting the ball.
He added and said that in the first half of the match the defence of the team was not up to mark as well but in the second half of the match all the players showed their true spirit and eagerness to win the match. He continued and said that all the players
backed their skipper Steven Gerrard awesomely and snatched a very well deserved victory.
The LFC (Liverpool Football Club) coach added and said that it was truly a captain’s game from the midfielder and the English national team captain made a huge change in the result of the game. He continued and said that the first goal of the match by Gerrard
was under pressure and it came at the time when the team needed him to score and he is very delighted with the outcome.
On the other hand the veteran midfielder, Steven Gerrard, seemed very pleased about his efforts as well. After the match the Reds skipper told the media that it was not only his game but all the players of the team played like a strong unit. He added and
said that everyone in the team played fantastically well in the second half of the team.
He added and said that determination and hard work are the keys to success and the victory against Napoli is like a breath of fresh air for him and for all the LFC fans.
It is also to be remembered that the recent glorious victory of LFC against Napoli has dragged Liverpool to the top of the Group K standings. The Reds will now face their giant arch rivals, Chelsea in the next match.
