Ten years on from rejecting Jose Mourinho’s first overtures for his signature, the Liverpool captain is now tantalisingly close to the one club honour to have eluded him going into Sundays Premier League title- race crunch. But the Reds boss Brendan Rodgers insists that whatever happens during Liverpool’s final three games of the season, the 33- year-old Kop skipper has something that all the money and medals in the world still can’t buy. Rodgers said: “Steven is happy. You could be the most decorated player in football and still not be happy. “I’ve seen some poor players win the Champions League and I’ve seen really bad players win other trophies. They cannot be happy with that. It is about what defines success for you. Jamie Carragher will never win the Premier League, but he played 737 games for a club of this size and won 11 major honours. “If Steven wins the Premier League is that worth three or four times what it would be if he’d won it somewhere else? I think so. Steven knows that whatever he’s achieved in football, he has been true to his own values and the values of his club. “For him it’s all about Liverpool. For others it will be: right let’s get the trophies here, let’s get the money there. “If he wanted money or more trophies, Steven could have easily have walked out of here. But knowing the man after working with him for two seasons, he is more than that.” #macrich_fn
