Liverpool’s Emre Can: ‘It doesn’t matter where I play’
[divider]Liverpool’s Emre Can has stated that he does not mind where he plays on the pitch as long as he is helping his team.
The 21-year-old has played the 13 games in a row at the right hand side of a three man defence despite being signed as a midfielder from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer.
“From my point of view, it doesn’t matter where I play. The main thing is to be on the pitch where I can help the team,” Can told Liverpool FC’s official website.
“If I can help the team by playing in midfield, then I will play in midfield. If I am needed at the back, I will play in defence.
“I’m fitter now and it means I can perform. Luckily, the manager is playing me and I am gaining in confidence the more I play. Now I am looking to produce consistency in my game and good performances.”
