Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott has said that entering a new era with coach Arne Slot. He wants to play in a new position from his original position of right winger or number 8 in a 4-3-3 system. So he is aiming to get the main number 10 position.
The ‘Reds’ have adjusted their formation to 4-2-2-2. Where during the attacking game, the number 10 player will be placed high up alongside the striker, waiting for gaps. While the two wingers will be moving forward first. UFABET
The formation gives Elliott the opportunity to shine as a playmaker. A killer passer or a long-range shooter. As he showed in the 2-1 win over Arsenal during the pre-season tour of the United States.
If it’s not too much to ask, the English player said he reserved number #10 in the Slots era.
“I also think the same thing, being number 10 gives me more creativity. It’s the position I asked for. But wherever the boss sends me, I’m happy to do it.” he said after the game at Lincoln Financial Field in Pennsylvania.
“I always emphasize that I want to go on the field to play for the team, wear the Liverpool jersey, no matter what position, and do my job to the best of my ability.”
“But if you ask where I would like to play, No. 10 is my preferred position. That’s because I’m quite familiar with playing for the England U21 team.”
“So it’s up to me to show them, train hard, squeeze out the results during games or practice sessions, and then see what happens.”
“Being able to play in one position regularly definitely helps with consistency, which is something I need to do as well.”
“I have to find my true playing position so I can continue, strengthen my weapons and improve my level.”
“As I said, it’s not closed off if the boss lets me play somewhere. I’m happy if I wear the uniform and go on the field.” But the next step is to definitely find a place to make a living, prepare my body and mind to be ready to push to the next level.”
Elliott is a versatile player who was previously sent on loan to Blackburn Rovers in the Championship . He plays on the left wing, which is his preferred foot.
