Napoli coach Rafa Benitez says Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard is the perfect example of English football development.
Benitez said the evolution of Steven Gerrard's game during his Anfield reign was proof of how English players can learn tactical discipline.
"Steve is a fantastic player," said the Napoli coach. "He used to be a box to box midfielder and little by little we were trying to use all his energy at the right time in the right place.
"As a second striker, behind Fernando Torres, he was outstanding; and later on, as an offensive midfielder, he was also giving so much to the team. I think he was improving tactically every year without losing his key role."
