Steven Gerrard: LA Galaxy midfielder may retire in 2016



LA Galaxy midfielder and former Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard says he may retire in 2016.
The 35-year-old joined Galaxy in July after making 710 appearances for the Reds over 17 years, scoring 186 goals.
Galaxy were knocked out of the Major League Soccer play-offs by Seattle Sounders last week.
"It could be my last season as a footballer. I certainly don't want to feel like I'm feeling right now come next year," Gerrard said.
"I'd love to go out on a high. It's a long season and I only came here for the last four months, but I'll certainly be better for the experience next year."
Gerrard scored twice in 14 appearances for Galaxy after joining the club over halfway through the 2015 MLS season.
He is due to return to England this week where he will work as a TV pundit before heading back to Los Angeles for pre-season training in January.
Gerrard, who won 114 England caps before retiring from international football after the 2014 World Cup, says he found some aspects of playing in the United States difficult.
"Going on the road, playing on [artificial] turf, playing at altitude, playing in humidity, those are the hurdles that I've had to face over the last three months that I wasn't aware of. Every away game has a different challenge," he said.

【now.com體育】今夏才轉投洛杉磯銀河的謝拉特，近日在這間美職球會官網上，竟透露有意在完成下一季美職後，結束球員生涯。

35歲的謝拉特（Steven Gerrard），今夏才正式由利物浦轉投洛杉磯銀河，但他與該隊只簽了18個月合約，意味在2016的美職球季完結後，便將成為自由身。這位「神奇隊長」近日接受銀河官網的訪問時，表示可能會下年約滿後便掛靴。

「這（2016賽季）可能是我作為足球員的最後一季。」謝四談及今年未能順利帶領球隊殺入季後賽決賽的感受：「不過，我不想下年帶著好像現在的感覺，而是希望走得更高。下年是一個漫長的球季，我現在才來到這裡4個月，但我肯定下年會有更好的經驗。」

雖然銀河擁有他、羅比堅尼和杜斯山度士3位知名球星壓陣，卻仍在季後賽淘汰圈便提早出局，謝拉特意識到美職不易應付，尤其是要適應不同場地的環境：「在過去3個月，我沒有意識到需要克服不同的比賽環境，有時是在一些高海拔、濕度高的地區，或者在一些不易作賽的草地，每一場作客，都帶來不同的挑戰。在主場，我們沒有問題，勝率也較高，但下年必須克服作客問題，才能更進一步。」

謝拉特將會在今周返回家鄉默西塞德，享受他長達兩個月的休季假期，然後明年1月才返回美國備戰新球季，暫時未知他在美職明年3月開咧前，會否租借至其他歐洲球會或短暫重返利物浦效力。
