Daniel Agger managed to play alongside Steven Gerrard in eight and a half years. He does not participate in the documentary, but the club's former vice captain, after all, the Dane who know him best. In the last two seasons Agger was at the club, he advanced to Gerrards right hand as vice captain.
Daniel Agger would like to give an insight into who Gerrard is and why he has so much respect for him. Both as a person and a footballer.
Healthy to get some air
- It is always difficult to set time on when to stop. You must listen to your own feelings. But I understand, he stops in Liverpool now, says Daniel Agger to Ekstra Bladet.
He elaborates:
- I think it is healthy for Steven to get away from Liverpool. He ought to try something else while being a place where he has more freedom. In Liverpool, he has not had any freedom at all, says Daniel Agger, who has full understanding that Steven Gerrard not want to end his life as a wallflower in Liverpool.
Today plays Steven Gerrard match number 710, the last official match for Liverpool against Stoke. And it is a very special situation that since arise, predicts Daniel Agger.
- There is a huge void after Steven Gerrard. He has filled so much everywhere. In the media, on the field, off the field and in the locker room.
- When taking such a person will cause a big void. And it becomes very difficult to fill up again, he said.
Daniel Agger has always greatly appreciated Captain Fantastic, but it has not only been for his footballing qualities.
Agger has been impressed with The captain's ability to handle the pressure that he has lived in throughout his career at Liverpool.
- In a club like Liverpool, there is always extra pressure on the manager and captain. Gerrard has always been extremely skilled to handle the pressure of the surroundings. And I can not think of others who have managed to convey the pressure than him.
- He has always delivered on the field under pressure. When it's gone downhill, he has never thrown the towel. So it is he who has taken responsibility. And finally he is a type that can accommodate a lot, because there are always sent for him. He does so much for others as he can afford.
- Everyone has always known that he is a good footballer. But as a person he is special. He is truly a good person. A person who helps and cares about its environment. Many of the things he goes into (for example, Steven Gerrard Foundation) he puts a lot of effort in. And I take my hat off to, says Daniel Agger.
he reveals also that Liverpool legend has never been the hot-tempered or roaring captain who yelled and screamed if the game was not running on the pitch.
- Some may get a message out, without shouting. But it is sometimes also those who are listened mostly. Such a type, he explains Daniel Agger and states:
- When Steven speaks, listen man. And it does not matter who it is. He never had the need to shout. And it is a quality property that is hard to get. It requires a certain respect, and that is always at the forefront of everything you do and say. And he does, says Daniel Agger.
Steven Gerrard plays today his last game and leave Liverpool, but it looks like a see you soon to club legend last a few years.
Daniel Agger, who played with him for eight and a half years, at least not in doubt that Captain Fantastic can certainly have a promising career ahead of him as manager.
- He has experience and qualities that can make him a really good manager in the future. I have no doubt that he can build a good manager team up, because he has so much football knowledge, estimates Daniel Agger.
During his time in Liverpool reached Daniel Agger playing with several major international profiles Fernando Torres, Xabi Alonso, Javier Mascherano, Luis Suarez and then there was of course the legend - Steven Gerrard.
For Agger there is no doubt about who has been the best player in his career.
- Steven Gerrard is definitely the best all-around player I've played with.
