Steven Gerrard a better passer than Xabi Alonso

Cro🌄uch spoke about what it was like to play with Gerrard and Alonso.

“Xabi Alonso was an amazing passer of the ball, but I still think Stevie was better. He could do everything Stevie. Steꦐvie was the best passer of a ball I think I’🌞ve ever seen and Xabi was probably second.

Gerrard had it all

Ste🐭ven Gerrard was a truly unique footballer who had it all.

Gerrard’s passing 🦄ability was up there with the ༒best to ever play the game, and he had every single club in the bag.

Whether he was playing down the ri🐭ght side delivering crosses, playing as a holding player spraying 40 yard balls or playing as a number 10 and sliding in through balls, Gerrard could do it all and he could do it all to an incredible level.

Crouch was lucky enough to play in the same team as both Alonso and Gerrard, and while they may not have won a Prem🔯ier League title together, Alonso and Gerrard are undoubtedly one of the best midfield pairings the Premier League has ever seen.

Alonso himself was a fantastic passer of a ball, but Ger🐬rard was on another level to almost anyone who was playing around that time.

Gerrar🌳d was a dream teammate for any attacker, that’🦩s for sure.
