LIVERPOOL – Steven Gerrard has admitted he is extremely unlikely to ever realise his title dream with Liverpool.The Reds captain says because of his age and the strength of the teams they would have to beat that it would take a ‘miracle’ to win the Barclays Premier League.Gerrard conceded that a far more realistic ambition would be to help the side reach the top four and qualify for the Champions League.‘It will be a miracle if I now realise my dream of winning the title with Liverpool,’ he said in his recently released autobiography My Liverpool Story.‘I say that because of my age and where we finished in the league the past couple of years. And also the situation we’re in with the rivalries,’ he explained.‘There’s not just United and Arsenal now but City, Chelsea and Tottenham. Newcastle coming as well. The Premier League has become a lot more difficult to win for everyone.‘We were eighth last year. If this season goes well, we get a bit of luck, improve, we have an outside, no, a 50-50 chance of being in the top four. That’s being realistic. It’s achievable.‘But even if we do sneak into the top four I’ll be 33 at the end of the season, so that’s why it’ll be a miracle if we win the title before I finish. ‘But I’ll keep fighting. I’ll keep trying and see what happens.’The fact he is still able to turn out for the club is something which Gerrard truly appreciates after his career nearly ended last year.‘I don’t think people realise how close I was to not playing again,’ he explained. ‘I appreciate anything I can achieve in any game I can play now. I just think back a year.’
