adminLONDON. — Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard concedes he is trying not to be distracted by thoughts of winning the English Premier League soccer title this season.The 33-year-old has claimed all the top honours during his time at Anfield apart from the league title.
Liverpool have not won the competition in 24 years, but with six matches remaining they lead the race ahead of Chelsea and Manchester City.
Manager Brendan Rodgers and the players continually insist they are taking things one game at a time, but even the vastly-experienced Gerrard is struggling to keep the fans’ infectious optimism at bay.
When the midfielder was asked whether he was dreaming about winning the title, he said: “I think I’d be a liar if I said no.
“It is flashing in and out of my mind from time to time, but I am trying to get it out as quick as it is going in because nothing has been achieved yet.
“It is important for myself and the players to try to not forget about the dream but try to park it up, as dreams only happen when you get the job done and there are six hard matches still to play.”
While Liverpool have to play both City and Chelsea at Anfield this month, Rodgers’ team have trips to Norwich and Crystal Palace before ending the season with a home match to Newcastle.
But the Reds start their run by looking for a ninth successive league victory when they play West Ham at the Boleyn Ground tomorrow, and Gerrard insists every game is vital. — Sky Sports.
