Diouf's fight with Gerrard revealed by former Liverpool forward Sinama Pongolle

Former Liverpool forward Florent Sinama Pongolle has revealed the details of a fight between El Hadji Diouf and former captain Steven Gerrard during a pre-season fixture.

In June 2002, Diouf joined Gerrard in Gerard Houllier's team where he played for two seasons before joining Bolton Wanderers on an initial loan in 2004.

The two did not get along at Anfield with Diouf claiming the former English midfielder was afraid to look in his eyes and speak to him.

Sinama-Pongolle was a youngster in Gerard Houllier's squad during that time, and he has revealed how the bust-up came about.
