Robbie Keane arrived to the LA Galaxy’s preseason camp and Steven Gerrard was the topic of discussion with the media.
Expected to arrive midway through the MLS season, Stevie G is already creating anticipation and excitement. As a player who used to play against Gerrard, Keane said this to the media:
“He’s one of [the best midfielders I’ve played with], he and Roy Keane, I would say, definitely would be up there,” Keane said following his first training session of the year at StubHub Center. “His ability to make players around him even better [will be] a big thing when he comes. Players will see how good he is and how simple he makes things. … He’s certainly going to be a huge help to this team.”
“I’m not surprised [he decided to come to MLS] because a lot of players want to come over here and know how good the league is,” said Keane, who joined the Galaxy in August 2011. “He’s looking forward to the new challenge [and it’s] something new for him. He’s from Liverpool himself, he’s never left home, so I’m sure he’s going to enjoy it over here and, most importantly, help us win championships.”
Robbie Keane also compares Gerrard to former Galaxy superstar David Beckham:
“Most games you watch with him, they’re exactly the same: Dominates the midfield and creates chances for people and keeping the ball and spraying passes 50, 70 yards and finding people’s feet every time …,” Keane said. “He’s kind of similar in passing range to Becks.”
Stevie G still has a season to finish in England, but will be ready to start the hunt for the MLS Cup as soon as he crosses the pond. In the meantime Robbie Keane will be warming up the field and We can half welcome you to the team now!
