Hungary captain Zoltan Gera hailed Steven Gerrard as one of the best midfielders in the world but maintains he is not about to join the England skipper at Liverpool. New Reds boss Roy Hodgson is reported to be ready to raid his old club for the attack-minded midfielder, who helped Fulham reach the final of the Europa League last season. Gera enjoyed his involvement in the friendly against England at Wembley last night, where the Hungarians took a shock lead before eventually being undone by Gerrard's quickfire second-half brace. However, the 31-year-old - also said to be interesting Werder Bremen - insists his mind is focused on continuing the Cottagers' success under new boss Mark Hughes rather than any talk of a move to Anfield. "The England team is full of top players. Against us, they played under pressure because the supporters were not happy," he said. "But they showed character, because they were 1-0 down and then changed the game. I love Steven Gerrard as a player - he is a great captain for England and scored two goals, he is one of the best midfielders in the world." However, when asked about the rumours of a switch to Liverpool, Gera insisted: "I do not know anything about this. I was happy at Fulham with Roy, but he has moved on to Liverpool and I am still at Fulham."
