Kampusbet - Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers opens up: “I’ve been through the most traumatic four years of my life"
Judi Online - Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says he has been through “the most traumatic four years” of his life, writes James Pearce in the Liverpool Echo.
In Michael Calvin’s new book, Living On The Volcano, the Northern Irishman talks about having to balance the professional demands of such a high profile job with personal heartache.
“I’ve been through probably the most traumatic four years of my life,” he said.
“I
lost my mum. I lost my dad. I split up from the woman I loved for 23
years. I had a court case, two Old Bailey trials over six weeks with my
son who was charged with sexual assault, which was an absolute disgrace.
“Yet
professionally, here and at Swansea, these have been the best four
years of my life. Something has to come from within. You have to put the
professional and personal to each side. It’s about being happy of
course, but the owners have paid me to do a job, so I will do the job.
Bandar Bola - “There’s a story about Jimmy Sirrel at Notts County which has stuck
with me since I was a young coach. His wife, Cathy, died late on the
Friday night, but he came in on the Saturday.
“Nothing was said.
He got on with his job, he did his job. Team played the game, won the
game.
Normally after every game, him and his wife would sit at a little
table and have a glass. Then they’d go.
“This Saturday night he quickly popped into the bar. Someone asked
about his wife, and he said, ‘She died last night’. He’d lost the woman
of his life, his right hand, but he still came in and did his job.
Makes
you think, doesn’t it?”
Liverpool started their season with a 1-0 win at Stoke on Sunday,
with Philippe Coutinho scoring late on to earn all three points and go
some way to avenging the 6-1 defeat they suffered on the last day of
last season, in Steven Gerrard's last match in a Reds shirt.
