Rangers: Steven Gerrard discusses his future after cup exit
Steven Gerrard clearly values advice from Jurgen Klopp in his venture as a football manager and there is one piece of guidance from the Liverpool boss which has stuck with the Anfield legend. It was back in 2016 when Gerrard took his first foray into coaching when he was appointed youth coach at Liverpool before going on to manage the under-19 team in the UEFA Youth League.
“The best thing I ever did was to go away from the cameras in the beginning," Gerrard told UEFA's website .
"I had a real honest and open conversation with Jurgen Klopp for a couple of hours and the advice he gave me was: ‘Don’t go into this as Steven Gerrard with the name on your back.
"Go back to the beginning and strip it back like a car. Get your pitch confidence and get used to tactics and different formations. Try things, make mistakes and get it horribly, wildly wrong.
"Experiment and do all these things away from the camera but before you test yourself in the Europa League, before you test yourself in front of thousands and thousands of fans – put yourself in a better position before you go in there.
