Rafa Benitez who is very optimistic about rest of season believes Steven Gerrard’s match winning display against Wolves at Anfield on Saturday will prove to be the perfect boost for Liverpool and help him to get back his confidence.
It was the first time Steven Gerrard scored a goal since game against Hull back in September. Gerrard has struggled with form and injury in recent months but Benitez is backing him to hit a purple patch ahead of tomorrow night’s vital trip to Aston Villa.
Rafael Benitez said: “It was a very important goal for us and for him. To see Gerrard scoring goals and playing well means his confidence will be very high. A goal is a good boost for him and for us. He is someone who has scored 20, 22 or 23 goals a season so he is used to scoring goals. If he can score more he will have more confidence and that will be really good for the team.”
Victory lifted Liverpool up to seventh in the Premier League and with Villa losing at Arsenal yesterday the Reds are only five points off the Champions League qualification places.
Benitez added: “We had to win today and we did. We kept a clean sheet, scored two goals and created chances. There were a lot of positives from a difficult game. We have to go forward now. The main thing was to get three points and now we have to be ready. The fans can enjoy a few days and we can see if we can beat Aston Villa. Then we’ll be closer.”
