Neither Salah nor Alisson, Gerrard picked his favourite Liverpool player, you'll never guess

Steven Gerrard is one of the most beloved characters for Liverpool fans, and the legacy left by the great captain is something that united millions of fans around the world who remember the now manager with great affection. This weekend Gerrard was once again the subject of conversation, as his recent comments about Chelsea manager Graham Potter and a picture he posted on Instagram made Stevie a trending topic.

During the game against the Londoners, Gerrard spoke loud and clear about the job that the former Brighton Hove Albion manager is doing at Stanford Bridge, as the club as well as the Reds are going through a terrible time in the Premier League being in mid-table, something strange and unusual for their recent football history. No doubt these criticisms made by Captain Fantastic were accepted and shared by fans of The Pool.

At the peak of the trend for the word Gerrard on social networks, the former number "8" and "4" in the national team, shared on his personal instagram account an image where his young son poses with a superstar of the club, being the Spanish Thiago Alcantara the one chosen for this incredible moment, that until a few hours ago, this publication exceeded more than 30 thousand reactions among players, journalists, legends and fans of the Merseyside club.

In this post, Gerrard baptises the former FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich player as the "master of the pass" and the fact that Thiago's talent justifies this nickname. The former Spain international arrived at Anfield in September 2020 and was one of the masterstrokes of coach Jürgen Klopp, who thanks to his power of persuasion won him the signature of other clubs of the calibre of Manchester City, Paris Saint Germain and even Real VARdrid.

Thiago is the idol of Gerrard's son

After an important stint with Liverpool FC, Steven Gerrard decided to close his professional career in the Major Soccer League (MLS) in the United States, where he retired in 2017, to begin his career as a Technical Director. That same year, the Red's opened the doors for him to manage youth teams, until he signed with Rangers in 2018 and won the Scottish Premier League, which earned him the opportunity to return to England, but now as a coach.
