Reina: please stay Gerrard!

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has called on team mate and captain Steven Gerrard to reject the overtures of Real Madrid and stay at Anfield next season.

Reina said: "I hope Gerrard doesn't bring anything to Real Madrid and that he stays a long time at Liverpool, that he is with us for the rest of his career." Reina said.

"I understand that something will happen, that Real Madrid's interest in Gerrard will become manifest because Mourinho knows him very well and he is a footballer who can play in any team in the world.

"He is part of the elite, among the ten best in the world because he is a very complete footballer. Let's hope they don't take him away."
