Benitez: Gerrard can improve

01 Dec 2008 - 11:49:20

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez believes that club captain Steven Gerrard will be around at Anfield for some time to come, having already completed a decade with the Reds.

The 28-year-old England midfielder has scored 104 goals in 458 appearances for the Merseysiders and Benitez says there is plenty more to come from Gerrard.

He told the Daily Post: "He is a great finisher and can score goals, so maybe he can play as a striker.

"When he is older he might not have the same pace, but he will have the same accuracy and still be a great finisher.

"He is still young, 28 for a player is the best age, and I think that he will not lose his power and he will not lose his quality.

"As a player in terms of his physical condition and technical ability he will not lose these things, so he can only improve because he can read the game better every year.

"I don't know how long he will be as strong as he is now. But if he can stay with the same energy and same power, in a few more years he will be better and better.

"He is now one of the big names and ten years in the same club and scoring 104 goals for a midfielder is amazing. But he can score more goals and still be more effective on the pitch."
