Un rilassato Steven Gerrard è apparso davanti alla Corte che lo sta processando per la rissa accaduta lo scorso 29 dicembre in un locale notturno di Southport chiamato “Lounge Inn”. Nell’ occasione rimase ferito un uomo, Marcus Mc Gee, poi dichiaratosi tifoso del Manchester United e si sospetta che ragioni di tifo calcistico abbiano determinato la rissa fra la fazione di cui faceva parte il ferito e quella del capitano del Liverpool e di alcuni suoi amici. Gerrard si è professato davanti ai giudici personalmente non colpevole dell’ aggressione alla parte lesa. Intanto la bandiera del Liverpool, squadra in corsa per il titolo di campione nazionale che manca da quasi vent’anni da “Anfield Road”, ha rinnovato il proprio impegno con il club fino al 2013, aggiungendo che sarebbe sua intenzione vestire la maglia dei “Reds” a vita.

“Steven Gerrard today denied being involved in a nightclub fight – on the day he was handed a hefty pay rise by Liverpool.The Anfield captain pleaded not guilty to affray when he appeared at Liverpool Crown Court. The 28-year-old was accused of being part of a group that injured businessman Marcus McGee, 34, at the Lounge Inn, Southport, in the early hours of December 29 last year.The 28-year-old had two years to run on his £110,000 a week Liverpool deal but has agreed improved terms to stay at the club until 2013, picking up an extra £10,000 a week.
Relaxed: Steven Gerrard arrives at Liverpool Crown Court to formally enter a pleaManager Rafael Benitez told the club’s website: ‘This is fantastic news for the club. Steven has once again shown his commitment and it was an easy deal to agree. As soon as we offered him the option he said yes. There were no problems at all. He wants to stay for life.’This deal sends out another clear message that we are moving forward as a club. To know we have a player of Steven’s quality with us for many more years is a great boost for the club and the fans.He is clearly a player who inspires those around him and even though he is playing very well at the moment, I still think his best years are ahead of him.’Real Madrid are thought to have recently looked into the possibility of signing Gerrard in the summer only to conclude that the England midfielder never wanted to leave Anfield.Gerrard said recently: ‘I’m really happy at the club at the moment, in fact I have never been happier at any time throughout my career and I would happily sign for life.’I am playing in a top team, I am playing with world-class players and I believe that with this manager, going forward, we can be successful.’After Benitez signed his own new contract in March, the way has been clear for the Anfield boss to secure deals for a string of his top stars.It is understood that Benitez, now with more control over his budget and transfer policy, is preparing deals for Jose Reina, Xabi Alonso, Alvaro Arbeloa, Dirk Kuyt, Daniel Agger, Fernando Torres and Jamie Carragher.He has already tied up deals for several of his backroom staff, including assistant manager Sammy Lee, first-team coach Mauricio Pellegrino, goalkeeping coach Xavi Valero, fitness coach Paco de Miguel and chief scout Eduardo Macia.But the jewel in the crown is Gerrard. And the announcement today of his new deal can only boost the feel-good atmosphere around the club as they chase Manchester United at the top of the Barclays Premier League.Tremendous victories over United, Real Madrid and Aston Villa have set up Liverpool for a tilt at both the domestic title and the Champions League.They are just one point behind United, who have a game in hand, and victory at Fulham tomorrow will take them top before United face Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday.And on Wednesday they face Chelsea in their Champions League quarter-final, first leg at Anfield.”
