Steven Gerrard says he has plenty to prove at LA Galaxy

Steven Gerrard has told Sky Sports News HQ that he has not joined LA Galaxy for an easy life and says he still has plenty to prove on the pitch. In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports News HQ, the former Liverpool and England captain admitted he is enjoying not being recognised in public as he settles into life in California.It's difficult to have a meal or a coffee or do anything with the girls because you get a lot of attention. "That's what you want when you first become a footballer but it is nice at this stage of my career to have a bit of a life off the pitch.Up until November/December last year when I made the announcement that I thought I needed a new challenge and when LA Galaxy came in they were very aggressive to get my signature and to get me to sign. I thought on and off the pitch they had ticked all the right boxes for me at this stage of my life. "I spoke to Robbie (Keane) and David (Beckham) who have experienced the MLS and they said the level was very good. Having trained for ten days I can say the level is good, players are very fit and very professional. "It is an unbelievable set-up here, the facilities are top drawer. I am expecting some good challenges and some good games.
