Brendan Rodgers all praise for Sebastian Coates – Football News
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 FC manager, Brendan Rodgers, has hailed the loyalty of the Uruguayan defender and has admitted that the player has not been given enough chances to play.
Brendan Rodgers admitted that Sebastian Coates has had limited opportunities this season but the manager has hailed the defender’s loyalty towards the club. He stated that it is certainly frustrating to get only
a handful of games throughout the course of the season and has praised the centre-back’s patience and character.
Sebastian Coates has made only 12 appearances for Liverpool this season which include only five in the English Premier League. The player has taken part in FA Cup and League Cup games mostly.
Rodgers claimed that Jamie Carragher’s consistency throughout the season was the main reason Martin Skrtel and Coates had to suffer. He admitted that the players had limited chances to prove themselves.
“Seb has been in here and has been a very loyal member of our squad. He has been a great support player for the group. Obviously his chances have been very limited. That's unfortunately how it is sometimes as
a defender,” he was quoted as saying in an interview to the club’s official website.
On the other hand, the tactician added that a team’s defence his not changed that often in comparison to the midfield or the strike force. He stated that Coates played regularly in cup games but that has not
been the case since January so it has been difficult for him.
“As a manager you are very rarely changing the defence. It's more the midfield and front players. He got a lot of games at the beginning of the season with the cups but obviously since January it has been hard
for him. He has been here a few years now. All players want to play, I respect that,” he concluded.
Sebastian Coates joined Liverpool from Uruguayan side Nacional for an undisclosed fee. The defender has been linked with a move away from Anfield this summer as the side looks to bolster its defence considering
