Gerrard eyes silverware

17 July 2009 16:15
Steven Gerrard is hoping to get his hands on the UEFA Champions League trophy and World Cup crown in 2010. The Liverpool midfielder has also reiterated his desire to land the Premier League title at some stage before he hangs up his boots - the only major piece of silverware to have eluded him during his glittering club career. He believes he is capable of achieving those targets with Rafa Benitez's side and claims nothing would give him greater pleasure than conquering the domestic and European games with his hometown club. Gerrard is also hoping that England's recent reversal in fortunes under the guidance of Fabio Capello will allow him to taste international glory in South Africa next summer. "I still have many more dreams, and that means winning the Premier League because that is the only medal that is missing from my own personal collection," he told Uefa's official website. "And it would be really nice to go to a tournament with England and to be successful, so that means the World Cup next summer for me. "I want to go one better than a quarter-final, which is the farthest so far that I have gone in a tournament. "It's the last four and the final that I now am aiming for. And I want another success in the Champions League too. "People could see my reaction when I lifted that trophy in 2005, how much it means to me, my team-mates and the supporters. That was the best night of my career and I want to match it and experience that success again." With his current contract at Anfield set to take him past his 33rd birthday, Gerrard has also admitted that his attention has started to turn to life once his playing days are over. He said: "Now I am thinking about what I will do at the end of my career, I'm not getting any younger. "It would be nice to stay involved in the game. I'm not sure at what level as either a manager or a coach or even going into the media. I want to stay involved because football is so important to me."
