David Moyes opens La Liga door for Gerrard
Madrid: Former Manchester United manager David Moyes has told Steven Gerrard he would be welcome at Real Sociedad next season if the outgoing Liverpool midfielder fancies a La Liga swansong.
“He has had a great career for his club and for England and he will be very difficult to replace. If he ever wanted to come to play in Spain he knows he can phone me,” Moyes was quoted as saying by dailymail.co.uk.
Gerrard almost joined Real Madrid in 2005 and Real Sociedad – the first club of former Liverpool teammate Xabi Alonso – would certainly welcome the former England captain who looks destined for LA Galaxy when the season ends.
Moyes’ praise for Gerrard came as he spoke ahead of Sunday’s meeting with Barcelona as La Liga resumes after the mid-winter break.
He admitted enjoying his first free festive period in over a quarter of a decade but also said he had spent the time in England looking for loan signings.
“It was nice to have Christmas dinner with my family. That is not always possible as a Premier League manager. I have not had a Christmas off for what must be 25 years,” the former Everton manager said.
“But I also went to games and I spoke to a lot of football people back home and asked a lot of questions about players and availability.”
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
