BARRY: I CAN LEARN FROM GERRARD

	Paul Rogers 16 March 2007 England international Gareth Barry has revealed that he intends to use this Sunday's clash between Aston Villa and Liverpool as a great opportunity to learn from fellow captain Steven Gerrard.
Barry has always been one of Gerrard's biggest fans and the chance to do battle with the England Vice-Captain at Villa Park is something the midfielder can't wait for after teaming up with the Liverpool star during last month's friendly international with Spain at Old Trafford. "He is a world-class player," Barry says of Gerrard. "It is always good playing against these sort of players, and he is certainly one of the best at the moment. He is an influential leader for Liverpool, and any captain in the country can look to him and see how he inspires their team week in and week out. "There is a lot to learn from a player like that. I believe it certainly helps being in midfield when you are captain because you can drive the team on from that position. It is an easier role from where to try and inspire your team-mates."
