The team has something to celebrate - goalkeeper Pepe Reina was recognized as the most reliable goalkeeper of the English Premier League season, and team captain Steven Gerrard was named the best player of the month of April. Last month, the Liverpool team not only won all four games, but also conceded just one goal. S. Gerrard scored two great goals in these matches and, as always, showed reliable performance in the midfield. Only 23-year-old P. Reina, who arrived in England in July 2005, has had an impressive season - the Spaniard finished 20 games without conceding a single goal, surpassing goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar (18 'clean sheet' games), last year's winner from London Petr Cech (17), and Brad Friedel and Jens Lehmann, who became unpenetrated opponents 16 times each in the Champions League semifinals. Meanwhile, the award for the best manager of the month of April went to the strategist Harry Redknapp. For the English specialist, this was already the fifth best manager of the month award in his career. However, H. Redknapp last won such a title back in March 2005. The best players are chosen each time by representatives of the league, journalists, and fans.
