Liverpool’s Forgotten Teenage Wonder…
Steven Gerrard, Liverpool’s legendary midfielder, recently reminisced about Michael Owen, whom he claims was a teenage prodigy even more spectacular than Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe combined. To add some spice, he compared Owen’s legendary speed on the pitch to a cheetah on roller skates, gracefully zooming past defenders. Gerrard, who had a trophy-laden career with Liverpool except for the Premier League title which danced just out of reach in 2013/14, fondly remembers his magical moments with Owen, fired up by the thought of Liverpool’s past and future wonderkids.
Reflecting on Owen’s stellar teenage years, which were so exceptional they once made Liverpool fans unleash confetti showers at Anfield on random Tuesdays, Gerrard boldly ranks him above current icons like Mbappe and Yamal in terms of influence at Liverpool. By the age of 22, Owen had secured the prestigious Ballon d’Or, becoming Liverpool’s prodigal son before moving on to other clubs. Meanwhile, Gerrard sees potential in 16-year-old rising star Rio Ngumoha, hinting that Liverpool might soon need to install extra trophy cabinets.
