Steven Gerrard says it's unlikely he'll leave Liverpool, even if they don't look like being a title challenger in the coming years.
He told the Daily Mail: "If I never won the league title, there would be regrets and an empty space, I admit it. Yet even if Liverpool were no longer challenging I would still find it difficult to leave. I could win 90 per cent of my medals here and one league championship elsewhere and that last medal would not mean as much.
"I've been part of this club since I was eight. I remember my first final, the Worthington Cup against Birmingham City in Cardiff. Swarms of people around the coach, me looking out at their faces.
"It was at that moment I felt I was part of something more than a football team. I would have been one of them, but I was just better at kicking a ball. That could have been me standing on the street. I felt responsible. I still do.
"If you get on our bus after a defeat and you see me and Jamie Carragher, it is not company you want to be in. The difference is I've learned to enjoy that pressure as I get older.
"Now we try to transmit that emotion to the foreign players. We try to explain to them what it means to take 6,000 away to Leeds United on a Tuesday in the Carling Cup, when everyone else says the competition does not matter."
