Agger eager to impress
Agger eager to impress
Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has insisted he will be ready to play if called upon, in light of the horror injury sustained to Martin Skrtel at the weekend.
âOf course I hope to get some playing time, but this was not exactly the way I wished to get it. I know Martin very well because I share a room with him when we travel,â said the former Brondby defender, who has been with the Merseyside club since 2006.
âI hope to get my chance and then I will prove that itâs my place. On the other hand, it might as well be Jamie Carragherâs place because I donât know why people only say it is me or Skrtel who are fighting each other for a place in the team,â he continued.
âI have had to be patient this season and wait for my chance, I know how things are.
âThe team have been playing really well and the results have been great, so I couldnât really expect the manager to make too many changes.
âThe only thing for me to do was get my head down and concentrate on getting as fit as possible, so that if an opportunity came along, I was ready to take it.
âWhen you have been out injured for 10 months, you know you are going to have to work really hard to get back into shape. Thatâs why I have been putting extra sessions in at Melwood this season."
