According to reports Liverpool inspiring captain Steven Gerrard who has insisted many times that he will never leave liverpool, Chelsea are planning to launch £30million transfer bid for Steven Gerrard.

Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti has told close friends that Gerrard is his number one transfer target come the summer January transfer window after following Gerrard’s regular comments about wanting to win Premier League Championship before he retires.

Steven Gerrard who played 500th game for Liverpool last week against BlackBurn was on the verge of leaving Liverpool in 2005 for Chelsea. When Steven Gerrard dramatically changed his mind at eleventh hour.

Regarding that deal Gerrard wrote in his book: “Madness broke out. I was sitting dazed at home, watching the TV, and when I saw fans burning an old No 17 shirt by the Shankly Gates, it did my head in. Show some respect. Don’t you know how this is tearing me apart?. Dad begged me not to go, but I replied, ‘look at the TV, fans are burning my shirt, the club aren’t stopping them, Liverpool don’t want me any more’.”

He continued: “I stared at the TV through flowing tears. I was suffocated by stress. My head was banging, and I was eating paracetamol like Smarties. It was the lowest point of my career. I broke down. Panic breakdown. Complete mess. Could I hand in that Liverpool armband? Could I look the father I adore in the eye again? Could I let the Kop down? No. I couldn’t jump over the edge of the cliff. I could see the great possibilities of Chelsea, but my heart wouldn’t let me leave.”

“Finally, my mind was made up. At 11pm that night, on July 5, 2005, I called my agent to tell Rick Parry that I wanted to sign. My heart stopped racing, and I put the paracetamol away. The following morning, I awoke with a smile on my face for the first time in weeks.”

“Those things weren’t there and it was all over the pitch from front to back. Now we’ve got a massive game at Chelsea on Sunday. We have to get this result out of our system quickly and show a reaction at Stamford Bridge.”

Liverpool took a 2-0 lead on an astonishing night in 1st-half and were just one goal away from pulling off a spectacular comeback. But, after the goals continued to fly in at both ends, Blues stand-in skipper Frank Lampard’s 89th-minute strike finally settled a pulsating match.

Liverpool Boss Rafa Benitez said, “I am really proud of the players and fans because they were pushing the team all the time. I thought we played a really good game.”

“We saw character, quality and we have to be proud. We were on top of them from the beginning. Credit to all the players, especially Lucas in the middle in Gerrard’s position. We were very, very close. When you play against a good team like Chelsea and make a mistake, you pay for it. We were attacking, controlling it, but one or two mistakes and that’s it. We had 29 fouls against us, too.”, Benitez added.

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink expressed himself about the stunning game, “I have had some dramatic games, but this was one of those where the players, everyone, made a lot of errors. That’s why it was so attractive, going from one end to the other. One time you think you’re down, the next you react. It was like being on a wave. My heart is, I don’t know, around 100 now but at some parts, it was up to 160, 180 beats per minute.”

Liverpool will be able to concentrate on the fight for the Barclays Premier League title now and will have a week to recover before facing Arsenal.

Benitez said, “When you lose, you have to be disappointed. But thinking about the Premier League title race, we showed we can score four goals here at Stamford Bridge and now we can do the same in any stadium.”

Steven Gerrard, who missed last night’s game after complaining of more pain in his groin, is expected to return.

“We thought he’d be OK but he felt something. To lose a player who is so important credit to the others for doing a fantastic job.”, Benitez said.

Fernando Torres wondergoal inspired Liverpool to another comeback after 3-1 defeat from Chelsea last week. Liverpool beat Blackburn 4-0 in a very important game,saturday, for Liverpool to stay in competition.

Rafa Benitez’s Reds are flooded with confidence to score three goals at Stamford Bridge tomorrow to save their Champions League skins after last week’s 3-1 first-leg mauling.

Torres said: “We have kept our confidence after the Champions League game and it was important to win for the fans. Of course we know it is going to be very difficult to get three against Chelsea because they’re such a strong team. But we beat Manchester United at Old Trafford so we know we can do it. They scored but we still won 4-1. We have confidence that we can go there and win the game”.

“I don’t think Chelsea will defend, I’m sure they will want to play for a win. They know if they score one or two it is over — they will want to score themselves and that will give us a chance.”

Torres’ goal is being compared to Dutch star Marco van Basten’s volley against USSR in the 1988 European Championship final.

But Liverpool Striker Torres, 25, insisted: “People may compare it with Van Basten but I do not think so. He was one of the best players in football history and I have a bit to go before I am as good as him.”

Liverpool Boss Rafa Benitez added: “Fernando’s first goal was very special but I am the kind of manager who always likes to push his players so I know he can do better. I suppose it was similar to Van Basten’s famous goal but if Fernando wants to be at the level of Van Basten then he knows he has to improve.”

Liverpool defender and standing Captain Jamie Carragher said, “With him and Gerrard on the pitch you know the team is much, much better.”

Defender Carragher added: “Fernando is one of the greatest strikers in the world, he scored two fantastic goals against Blackburn and it has been really good to have him back in the side and fit. It is frustrating thinking what we could have done this season if he had been fit all the time.”

Once again Steven Gerrard will be sitting on bench for the tomorrow game due to his groin injury.

TheSun reported, “So many times Liverpool have flourished on European nights at Anfield. There is a special atmosphere about these occasions which brings the best out of their players. But they were blown away and it will take a miracle to turn this around now”.

“Gerrard has never been so quiet. He usually rules the roost but he barely got a kick”.

However, the game was surprisingly entertaining and it was the home side who took an early grip, taking the lead after panic in the Chelsea defence. Liverpool and Chelsea were meeting for a fifth successive year in the Champions League and not many before had been as classics as this one.

Rafa Benitez claimed if his side lost this tie it would be a worry for Manchester United because they could concentrate on trying to beat them in the Premier League title race.

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard and Chelsea striker Didier Drogba are ready for the clash in the Champions League quarter-final at Anfield on Wednesday.

Gerrard slightly injured his groin in Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Fulham on Saturday but came through a training session on Tuesday unscathed, manager Rafa Benitez told a news conference.

Liverpool, however, will be without the suspended Javier Mascherano after the Argentina international midfielder was booked in the second leg of Liverpool’s 4-0 win over Real Madrid a month ago.

Chelsea, who are meeting Liverpool in the Champions League for the fifth successive season, should have Drogba leading their attack after he came through two training sessions on Tuesday.

Drogba did not play in Saturday’s 2-0 win at Newcastle United because of an ankle injury, but Chelsea’s Dutch coach Guus Hiddink said in his pre-match news conference: “He is fit enough to start the game.”

Chelsea’s Portuguese defender Jose Bosingwa, who damaged a hamstring while on international duty last week, is out of Wednesday’s match.

The bookmakers may still only rate them as 4th favourites behind Barca, Manchester United and Chelsea but the Liverpool skipper believes they could be left with egg on their face.

Steven G Said: “If you ask me about a fear factor in the Champions League, I think the other seven are the ones who are going to have concerns about coming up against us, don’t you? The way I look at it is that we’re going to have to play them sooner of later so it doesn’t matter if it’s now, the semi-finals or the final”.

“We are not running scared of anyone. We’ll take whoever we get and believe that we are going to go through”.

“If we could hand-pick an opponent then maybe we had want someone like Villarreal or Porto but, at this stage of the competition, there are no easy games. It may be a cliche but it’s true.

“Everyone who’s got to this stage has done well and believes in themselves. But we have shown the players, manager and fans we’re a force to be reckoned with when we pull it all together.”

Gerrard marked his 100th Euro appearance with a double against Real Madrid, leaving him level with Bayern’s Miroslav Klose as joint Champions League leading scorers on seven.

Gerrard added: “I honestly can’t remember us playing as well as we did in the first half of the Real game.

“I don’t just mean in the Champions League or in Europe I mean in any competition in all of the time I have been playing for Liverpool. I don’t think we have controlled a game like that from the very first minute, dictated it and bossed it that way before or for so long”.

“Playing like that, I don’t think there is a side in Europe that could have lived with us. We have played well against Arsenal, Juventus, Inter, Chelsea and whoever else, but that first-half performance against Madrid was better than them all. Maybe the results of some of those games were more important, like Milan in Istanbul, but in terms of pure control that was the best by a distance”.

“People are talking of Real being a bad team but they weren’t saying that the week before. The run of games they have been on in La Liga tells us they are a good team. If they looked poor at Anfield it’s because that is how we made them look. We destroyed them and made them look ordinary and we deserve credit for that rather than looking for other reasons.”

Things are certainly looking rosier for the Reds than at any stage of the season, with Fernando Torres also hitting peak form after a hamstring-dogged campaign. Torres gave United centre back pair Rio Ferdinand and especially Nemanja Vidic an absolute nightmare on Saturday to rekindle Anfield dreams of a first Premier League crown.
