Liverpool skipper Gerrard proud of praise from Scholes

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard is proud of comments this week from Paul Scholes.

The former Manchester United and England midfielder believes Roy Hodgson's side must adopt Liverpool's style and that the Reds quintet should start against Italy.

"That makes me feel really proud, being a Liverpool man myself," Gerrard said.

"Paul Scholes knows his football and for him to say he was really happy to watch Liverpool play that way is really good for me and the rest of the Liverpool players.

"But we're England now and we're going to play the England way, which is whatever Roy Hodgson, Gary Neville and Ray Lewington want us to do.

"The players will carry out the instructions given by them."
