Steven Gerrard: the legend

Any football players have their own story to tell. From a controversy one to a majestic counterpart. Eventually, some stories are too proud to be told again and again. This story is one of them. Steven Gerrard is a popular figure and a captain for Liverpool. Even though, he is not there challenging for titles anymore, he is still our legend. With his undoubtedly amazing technique, his profound contribution, and winning mentality, he is arguably one of the best player in the world this era.

                                                                          

Loyalty is something not a lot of players have. Steven Gerrard especially is part of Liverpool Football Club. Evidently, He spent a total of 27 years at the senior and junior level of the club. That is a pretty astonishing record, is it not? Arguably however, Francesco Totti might spend more year at Roma than Gerrard did. Be that as it may, Gerrard might still have a whopping 504 appearances for Liverpool alone, a lot more than Ibrahimović or most of the other players have. Loyalty is important in relationships, even more in professional football. Leaving club after club may have rough result with the fans since leaving a club might be seen as betrayal. Gerrard is undoubtedly our legend not only for his loyalty, but also for his professionalism. He trained really hard his entire career at Liverpool with a mentality to reach higher level. He was the first to arrive at the training complex and the last to leave. This evidence further proves how much of a leader he is. Yes, football talents do not necessary mean he will become a world-class player. As a result, you need to train, train hard to get ready for games at a highest level. Steven Gerrard has done exactly that; he is a model for players to look up to. Up on the pitch, he is a leader and a motivation. Remember the historical comeback against Ac Milan in Champion League 2005 at Istanbul? He inspired them for that comeback. The first goal is always important for a comeback to happen, he did just that. With intense pressure, he calmly rose up and nodded the ball into the back of the net. Incredible, eh? In the end, he spent more than 20 years with Liverpool as a leader, a motivator, and a model. Some may argue he still has not won the Premiere League and his slip against Chelsea was costly; however, everyone can make mistakes and he has one of those, but few could blame him after what he has done for us. It would take forever to talk about his legacy, Steven Gerrard’s own legacy after all.

Steven Gerrard is loved by Liverpool and by most football fans around the world. He may not have won the ultimate prize of English Football, The Premiere League, but he has won a place in my heart and my admiration.  His time will not be forgotten, at least while I am still here, but indelible within my heart. Thank you Steven Gerrard, you will never walk alone!

"Cut my veins open and I bleed Liverpool Red", Steven Gerrard.

How come Pokemon Go hasn't disappeared even though the hype is slowly declining

Yes, unless you suddenly disappeared from the world, the game phenomenon from Niantic -Pokemon Go is invading the world with all its hypes. The game is ultimately a dream comes true for all of the people watching Ash's adventure when they were young. Little Ash gets his first pokemon - a cute little Pikachu and travels around the regions trying to be a Pokemon Master. Fast forward to summer 2016, you and your friends can enjoy our own adventure by playing Pokemon Go.

However after 2 weeks of slowly releasing around the world, the game has some profound issues that players have encountered. The server crashed regularly has been a common issue last week. Well, the server issue has been an ongoing problem that keep the players from going back to the game. 

Mass amounts of complaints though have been redirected throughout the internet the last two weeks from nostalgic players, realizing their dream might have been shattered before it even starts. However, they can rest assured knowing the lack of server stability was just a result of mass releasing, in which Niantic is trying to fix. Some people even make an app online to check the stability level of the game. This week however, the game has been more stabilized than ever, creating optimistic around the players again. According to some people, the game might seem boring with the lack of features happening in the game beside walking around catching pokemon, hatching eggs, or challenging gyms. However, Niantic has promised the current game is only 10% of what they will do so new features like trades will be available soon. Be aware though "soon" might not close. Some people might think this is a piece of business in which will close soon enough after gaining enough revenue.
However, the company is planning to update with more features and pokemon to come, further put this theory into myth. However though, players can spend real money to get more advantages in game. This is a flaw of free games since players can win even though they are not skillful.
These issues have caused the hype to wane away, however though, the game has not disappeared yet. It is a promising piece of application, in which can develop even better. Ultimately, it is the dream most of us have while watching the show when we were young. Even with errors like that, we won't simply delete the game, in which our dream is comprised within. Once simply cannot delete dreams, and we certainly will not. Even with little errors people are complaining about, the game is still young. With a little bit more works, the game will be a huge success. For some people, the dream has already been captured. For other people, the dream has just started. For some people however, the dream is still awaiting, download the game, and let your own adventure begin...
