Xabi Alonsowho played on Liverpool between 2004 and 2009 (before signing for real Madrid, where he played between 2009 and 2014) made these statements on the Talksport portal. The former midfielder also said it was likely Steven Gerrardlegendary former Liverpool captain and current coach of Al-Ettifaq from Saudi Arabia, will have a chance before he leads the ‘red’ team.
At that time (2018) Gerrard he trained the U-18 of Liverpool.
