JOSE REINA has told World Cup keepers to duck if they face a Stevie Gerrard thunderbolt.
The Spain star, 23, believes no one strikes a shot harder than his Liverpool team-mate.
He said: “Gerrard has the hardest shot I have ever faced. I don’t think there is anyone that strikes the ball with as much power and accuracy as him. In training I wonder whether it would be better to just get out of the way for my own safety!”
Gerrard, 25, hit two wonder goals in the FA Cup final against West Ham.
Reina added: “His goals in the final were both unstoppable. The first one almost broke the net and the second was an absolute rocket."
Reina faces a battle with Real Madrid’s Iker Casillas for the No 1 jersey at the World Cup.
But he is preparing for the finals on a high. He got married just days after his penalty shootout saves that saw off West Ham.
He added: “I’m very happy with my new status, but now I’m going to have to spend my honeymoon with 22 other blokes!”
