Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp has backed his colleague Steven Gerrard, who was sacked as Aston Villa coach.
- I am sure that Steven Gerrard will be able to survive this moment. We had a little chat with him this morning. Of course, Stevie is upset because he is an ambitious coach.
It's certainly a sad situation, but we don't need to worry about Gerrard. He understands football. And it's no secret for him that such things happen periodically.
We all stumble, and it's how you react that matters. I have no doubt that Stevie will not lose his mind after his release. Many great coaches have had to leave their previous clubs for various reasons. It was a lesson for them and made them better. Gerrard will focus on himself now and that's good, Jurgen Klopp said.
We will remind that after the 12th round of the Premier League against Fulham (0:3), the management of Aston Villa released Steven Gerrard.
Let's add that after 12 rounds, "Aston Villa" is in 17th place, having 9 points to its credit.
