Rafa Benitez: Whatever you ask him to do, you will get 100%. If he needs to play in goal he will do it. And there is more to come from him. He can be an even better player. King Kenny: He is probably the best player Liverpool ever produced. Zidane: There are few extra abilities in Gerrard which Ive tried to learn but failed. Henry: He gives his 100% in every match. Wenger: Usually any team worry about an opponents striker but when Gerrard is in the field they worry about him even more. Maradona: After the Istanbul magic he won my heart. Pele: He is the only English player who has complete footballing abilities. Gary Neville: Steven Gerrard is undoubtedly a world-class player and I wish hed played for United. Zidane: Is he the best in the world? He might not get the attention of Messi and Ronaldo but, yes, I think he just might be. If you dont have a player like Steven Gerrard, who is the engine room, it can affect the whole team. He has great passing ability, can tackle and scores goals, but most importantly, he gives the players around him confidence and belief. You cant learn that - players like him are just born with that presence. Patrick Viera: The best midfielder I would say is Steven Gerrard. I really rate him as a player and as a man. He is so powerful and strong. He can attack, he can defend and he can score. Kaka: England have always had individually strong players and I am a huge fan of Stevie Gerrard. He has the heart of a lion and is the icon of the modern footballer with his ability to attack and defend so well. He is the worlds most complete modern player. Carlo Ancelotti: He is the complete midfielder. He can be a holding midfielder; he has fantastic shots, passes and skills. When I played, there were players like Giancarlo Antognoni and Rainer Bonhof but today Gerrard, full stop. Sir Alex Ferguson: He has become the most influential player in England, bar none. More than Vieira. Not that Vieira lacks anything, but I think that Gerrard does more for his team than Vieira does. Everywhere the ball is, he seems to be there. Hes got that unbelievable engine, desire, determination. Anyone would love to have Gerrard in their team. Henry (2008): For me, and I have always said this, he will be regarded as one of the greatest midfielders ever when he finishes his career. Ronaldinho (2007): He is one of the very best in the world. For the job he performs, for me he is one of the greatest. Pele (2006): Sometimes you have a player like Gerrard. For me, for the last five years Gerrard has been the best player in the world. Who God don blesseee...
