Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has admitted he regrets not playing under manager Jose Mourinho.
Gerrard, 35, turned down a move to Chelsea in 2004, opting to remain at his boyhood club who he parted ways with this summer after a 27-year association ahead of a switch to LA Galaxy.
The ex-England international reflected on his not having the experience of featuring for a Mourinho side in an interview conducted by ex-Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand with BT Sport that will be broadcast on Wednesday at 10 p.m.
He said: "I love the manager, I love the man, I've had a distant relationship with him for many years but, I have regrets for not playing for the man and the coach because I know he would have made me a better player.
"I know he would have had more trophies to what I've already won. But looking back now I have no regrets not signing for Chelsea. I don't regret it at all.
"I'm happy with the decisions I made. The connection I've got with Liverpool, my home town club. I've probably underachieved at times in certain years with Liverpool but for me it is not all about winning trophies.
"It's also about memories and love and what those memories meant. Winning four or five trophies with Liverpool means an awful lot more than winning 10 or 11 with Chelsea."
Ferdinand also asked Gerrard about his long-term commitment to Liverpool and whether such loyalty is likely to be repeated in the modern game.
He added: "I don't think you'll see much more. Players are going to move around more. With the amount of money in the game and the opportunities that come about, players are a lot more easily led.
"What kept me at Liverpool -- when I was close to making the decision whether to stay or go -- was my dad, who is a big Liverpool fan, my brother, all my friends. When I won for Liverpool, I shared it with people that are close to me and not many people will understand that.
"I am biased towards Liverpool. In certain games, I've been too biased and showed too much loyalty. But I knew I always wanted to come home, I always wanted to watch Liverpool.
"I'll have season tickets now forever and I knew if I'd have gone to Chelsea or anyone else, I'd have risked losing that. I've been there since I was eight and it was too much to let go."
