Liverpool defender, Conor Coady, let out his elation over making his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 debut during a Europa League match against Anzhi Makhachkala on Thursday.
The English footballer started in the Reds 1-0 defeat to the Russian outfit. Although he graduated from the Liverpool youth academy primarily as a defender, Brendan Rodgers deployed him in a more central role.
With an important league game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 at the weekend, the Anfield chief introduced myriad changes in his starting line-up, saving his best cards for later.
After putting up an impressive show on Thursday, the 19-year old let out his delight on making his Liverpool debut.
He claimed that it was every boy’s dream to represent a club as big as Liverpool and was optimistic of winning more caps under the Ulsterman’s supervision.
“I loved it. It is every boy's dream to make his debut for Liverpool,” he told the reporters in an interview.
“I felt I had a good game. The gaffer is going to give youngsters a chance and for myself to get a chance was fantastic.”
The Reds, who topped the group before the start of the game, now trail leaders Anzhi by a margin of single point. A solitary goal from Lacina Traore just at the stroke of halftime was enough to hand the hosts all three points and allow them to go to the
summit of the group.
Earlier, the Merseyside club recorded wins against Guus Hiddink’s unit and the Young Boys, and have got 6 points from their 4 matches.
Speaking about the game on Thursday, Coady feels that his side were unlucky not to get a result out of it.
He insisted that they hardly put a foot wrong during the game and slight lapse in concentration resulted in their defeat.
“I thought we were a bit unlucky to get the result we did as it was a bit of a mistake for their goal. I thought we had a good game, sat in there and tactically we were fantastic and we are just a bit gutted we conceded the goal,” he added.
Liverpool will take on Chelsea in a Premier League match at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
