From £50 to £1,000 fine: Gerrard's rules for his players

A captain on and off the pitch. Steven Gerrard is back from his holidays and is putting on his overalls to prepare his Aston Villa players for the next season. And as if it were a school, the former Liverpool player imposed a series of rules with their respective punishments for those who do not comply with them.

These punishments, which range from the quotidian to the surprising, were leaked on Twitter in the form of a list with their respective costs, as can be seen in the tweet below.

In terms of offences, some stand out, such as 500 pounds, for arriving late for training, or 100 pounds, for entering without flip-flops to take a shower, and even for players not bringing a cake on their respective birthdays, for which the punishment is 50 pounds per day.

And this is the philosophy with which Gerrard wants to instruct the Villains squad: to be disciplined off the pitch, to not only progress as professionals in football, but also as people in life.
