The failure occurred at the 2006 World Cup quarterfinals in Germany. Digadang-gadang Gerrard who can score goals on penalties have failed. England eventually lost.
Gerrard felt the weight of the burden of exactly how the England players. However, there are valuable lessons that he learned from the experience. This is the experience that he told FIFA.com:
+ Steven, you failed to kick a penalty when England lost on penalties in Germany versus Portugal in 2006. What did you learn from that experience? - I think, with penalties of failure, I would probably arrange them on a subsequent occasion, a little memolorkan time. I will practice harder to make sure I know what I would do. It all happened so quickly in 2006 and I think after doing a lot of penalties, I should take more time square off.
+ What comes to mind when you step into the white dot? - There is a full sense of pressure, but that's what we do, we try to handle the pressure. I failed in 2006, so if I deal with this situation again, I will try to cope with stress much better.
Yet, it is difficult, unlike the usual penalty kick in the practice. You bear the greater responsibility. You know all the spectators watching and when you're tired, you're getting stressed out, that's when mistakes happen and it happened to me in 2006.
+ You say tired during a penalty shootout. How the extra time? What happens to your body and mind when the game reaches this stage? - You are very tired. You are expending energy, you want the game to stop but you have to stay focused until the end. It is very difficult because this stage so quickly that after 90 minutes you lose energy.
(Extra time) is when the mistakes come. When body and mind is tired, you see the team make mistakes, the game slows down. Actually, both teams did not want to lose, so that each person a bit tense.
+ Now the World Cup in 2010. What stands out from the qualifying party? - I think not only one moment, but you should see all the parties where we were very consistent.We became a team that is very hard to beat and we looked impressive, but the most important thing is that we can maintain the hard work for a better World Cup ahead. We still face a long road.
+ What are your views about (coach) Fabio Capello who will handle the team in his first World Cup? - He created a lot of ability in the team. He was a champion, he has seabrek extraordinary experience and enjoy a number of critical success. He was the champion of mental transfer into the team, so we'll be in a better position in the tournament.
+ What are your responsibilities within the team? What Fabio Capello requested from you? - Coach wants me to play freely, to express myself. I start from the left, but he did not want me to stay in one position. He wanted me to go around and cause problems for the enemy to go the area where I should not be there.
+ You become captain of the club in Liverpool, but vice-captain alongside the British. What is the difference between being captain and not? Is the pressure is reduced? - Not at all, (it) exactly the same. When I play for England, when I'm not a captain, I still do it like I'm the captain and I tried to play and give examples so that I can help my team-mates and doing things right. Thus, although both the captain and it boasts, you play exactly the same between the captain and no.
+ British Society wants this team to win the World Cup. Is it a heavy burden on your shoulders?- As a player, you have to face a lot of expectations and pressure of playing alongside the British. Supporters and very much hope to the state media and a lot of hope for us. It is important to us, as a player, overcome with the best we can.
+ Some people say that the British group in South Africa would be easier than other teams.What's your opinion? - We are pleased with the lottery group and we are very confident that we can qualify from the group but at the same time we must show respect to other teams.
Each team has been fantastic so dapta to the World Cup team and our opponents in the third group (Algeria, Slovenia, and the United States) want to beat England. "We know they will play with their lives, so we need to ensure that we perform well to win.
+ When the match versus the U.S., you'll fight a number of players who played in the Premier League, such as Jozy Altidore at Hull City. What is your opinion about him and how the team will deal with it? - He's big, strong spearhead. He likes running from behind and cause problems for defenders through the strength and height, so defenders have to play well against England. We had a fantastic defender-defender in England, but we need to turn it off because if he had time and space, he will punish us.
+ Back to the past World Cup, where players are small when you become your favorite? - My favorite of all time is Zinedine Zidane, former captain of France. Permainnanya Look, the way she moves, the way he controlled the ball, how to feed, really special and much can you learn from this guy, he's a genius with the ball.
From England, there Gazza (Paul Gascoigne). I'm pleased with the talent of players capable of complete, and Gazza may be one of England's most complete player, so I favored them.
+ Paul Gascoigne playing in the World Cup Italy 1990 with Gary Lineker, who won the Golden Boot (top scorer) with six goals in Mexico in 1986. What is your view of him as a player and style of play? - Style fully about the game scored. He was in the right position, very close to the wicket, and scored many goals from the penalty box. To me, Gary Lineker is a legend. I grew up watching the game and I like it when he scored in 1986 and 1990. You have to lift his hat to him for scoring goals is the hardest thing to do in football and he has very good instincts in finding the right position and time.
