G. Neville: "Liverpool" - the departure of the stars - nothing new

Former "Manchester United" defender Gary Neville believes that "Liverpool" must stop thinking about the past if they don't want to become just an ordinary club. Reflecting on Raheem Sterling's situation, the assistant coach of the England national team says that the team must learn from past mistakes. "Sterling's possible departure is a big concern for anyone associated with the club, but the unpleasant truth is that for the 'Liverpool' team, this is nothing new," the former defender wrote in The Telegraph. "Just look at the last 10-15 years and count how many players have left during that time to seek success elsewhere." "Steve McManaman, Michael Owen, Javier Mascherano, Xabi Alonso, Fernando Torres, Luis Suarez - none of them are there anymore." The assistant coach of the England national team says that the players of Liverpool are under too much pressure. Neville wrote that Liverpool's footballers are constantly pursued by fans in their own city, which hinders the team's chances. Furthermore, the defender insists that the club needs a strong renewal and finally become a team of the 21st century.
