Steven Gerrard has released a
biography before, and someone's given him quite a bit of money to do
another one now that he's left Liverpool. He apparently had a bit more
to say this time around, and his former co-workers aren't too happy.
Rafa Benitez was fairly calm and professional
about Gerrard saying he didn't get on with the Spaniard. "I've read the
quotes and Gerrard is mistaken," said Benitez. "Due to the respect I
have for ‘Stevie' and for the value and appreciation I have for him, and
for Liverpool and the supporters, I'm not going to say anything."
But El-Hadji Diouf took a different tone,
emphasis mine. "We all saw how he made life difficult for Mario
Balotelli at Liverpool," said Diouf. "I warned him. Liverpool isn't a
team that accepts black people unless they are English. It's common
knowledge. Gerrard has never liked black people. When I
was at Liverpool, I showed him I was black, that I wasn't English, but
that I'm no pushover. All the time I was there, he never dared looked me
in the eye."
Yikes.
