- I wished him good luck in his new team – TV 2

LIVERPOOL / BERGEN (TV 2): Steven Gerrard (34) said goodbye to Anfield on Saturday after having had it as their home throughout his football career.

It was an emotional session, where the stadium hailed the midfielder for his efforts for English football in general and Liverpool in particular.

One who came very closely at it all was Norwegian William Herstad (8).

He handed out a golden boot, known as a “Golden Samba ‘for Gerrard. With the purchase he received a hug from the legendary Liverpool player.

– We shook hands and then I wanted him luck in His new team, says William to TV 2.

– Sad that Gerrard heading

The midfielder responded with a hug.

– It was really fun to get a hug from him, says William.

– How is it that he will not be here anymore?

– There is sad, and it’s not good. He shoots very well from long range.

Daddy Tage Herstad live in Liverpool and follows the team extremely closely. Session was great for him as well.

– There was a

big fuss. I was a little glossy eyes then. We thought that maybe he went past he had with his daughters, says Herstad.

– He’s lucky and live long on it, if he has understood what has happened today. As he did so for Carragher so it took some time before it went all the way.

– Need a new leader

Life goes on, even without ‘Captain Fantastic’. And maybe it is in the nick of time he packs soccer shoes and moves across the Atlantic.

– One needs one Gerrard, but it’s okay that he goes now. He has not been at its best. It’s a bit sad to see. It’s okay he goes. We need a new leader, a new boss on the pitch. It’s not just Gerrard Square is the problem, says Tage Herstad.

The farewell match was an anticlimax with 3-1 victory at Crystal Palace.

But that’s probably just a parenthesis in the Liverpool story of Steven Gerrard.
