Reds legend Jamie Carragher confirmed that he
will retire at the end of season and ended any possibility of being persuaded
to change his mind when confirming last week that he would join sky sports as a
full time pundit.
Carragher said to the media, "I don't
think there could be a better move for me," He said about his move to Sky.
"Until that time comes, I'll remain fully focused on my remaining playing
career with Liverpool and I'm looking forward to ending the season with good
results."
Carragher was retiring last year but Rodgers
first task after becoming the Liverpool manager was to persuade him to play for
one more season.
Carragher didn’t get much chances in the
first half of season because Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtle were the first
choice center backs but after Skrtle injury, Carragher took his place.
Carragher has been consistent for Liverpool since January, playing every match
and displaying a good football. Last week he played his last derby match
against Everton at Anfield which ended as a 0-0 draw.
The 35 years old, has passed 16 successful
years with Liverpool, played 735 first team games. More than 500 in premier
league and 150 in European competitions. Carragher will join a list of players
including Paolo Maldini, Ryan Giggs, Raul Gonzalez and many more for making 150
European competitions appearances.
By seeing the progress of Liverpool under
Rodgers, Carragher believes that Rodger is the right man for Liverpool job and
will take Liverpool again to its best level.
Jamie Carragher, who lifted the Champions league
trophy with Gerrard in 2005, and won 2 FA Cups, 3 League Cups and different
UEFA cups, will join Sky Sports as a pundit along with two former Liverpool
players Jamie Redknapp, Graeme Souness and former united player Gary Neville.
He will be analyzing next season premier league matches on Sky Sports.
