Official: S.Gerrard leaves "Liverpool" club after the season

"Liverpool" announced on their official website that Steven Gerrard, who has spent his entire career in the "Reds" team, will leave the club after this season. Reports that the 34-year-old footballer will leave Liverpool after the 2014-15 season only spread after last weekend's English Premier League match. In that match, S.Gerrard scored two goals from the penalty spot, but his team played to a draw with Leicester City. S.Gerrard claims that he will give his all and try to help the club win as many games as possible until the end of the season. He will finish his career at Liverpool at the age of 35. "It was the hardest decision in my life. It was difficult for me and my family for some time," said the team's number 8. "I announced my decision now so that the team or the coach wouldn't be distracted by rumors linking me to other clubs. Liverpool was a huge part of my life and saying goodbye will be difficult, as I have played here for so long. It was an honor to play here and to be the team captain," added S.Gerrard. The midfielder has been playing for the main English vice-champion team since 1998. During this time, he managed to play 697 matches and score 180 goals. Together with Liverpool, S.Gerrard won ten trophies, including one UEFA Champions League. However, during his career, he never managed to become a champion of his country.
