Liverpool’s young defender, Sebastian Coates believes that he needs to be patient before he is able to secure a place in the Reds first team.
The 21 year old Uruguayan, who came in the limelight after scoring a sensational goal against Queens Park Rangers in a Premier League match, believes that he will settle down at the club, in due time.
“I feel more settled now. As the months and the time goes by the period becomes a lot more easy,” he said.
However, he said that in the mean time, he will look to learn from his senior team mates and admitted that he was honoured to be around the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Agger-c9884 and Martin Skrtel.
"It is a privilege to train and play with them," he added.
On 21st March, the Uruguayan scored his first goal for Liverpool against QPR with a scissor kick, in a match which Liverpool lost 3-2. He was signed by the Reds in August, 2011 for an undisclosed fee and the match against the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 was only
his fourth appearance in the Premier League. However, he failed to come on for the Reds in the game against Wigan Athletic, which Liverpool lost 2-1.
Coates made his debut for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Junior-c20060 team went on to win 5-1.
Despite the Reds appalling position in the league, the Merseyside team are currently third in the Premier League in terms of conceding the least number of goals. Coates reflected that the feat is a proof that the other defenders are doing a great http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684. Only
Manchester United and Manchester City have conceded lesser goals than the Reds.
“I am enjoying the football and I know I have to be patient to play more games, purely because the other defenders have been so consistent for a long time.”
He pointed out that the Reds needed to stick with the current defensive line-up as it is not leaking away goals.
"That is the nature of defence. Especially in that position, when it is working, you don't change it. So you must respect your team-mates when they perform. There can be no arguments."
Earlier, the Uruguayan won the praise of his manager Kenny Dalglish, who was impressed with his quick adjustment to life at Anfield and believed that the defender has progressed as a player. However, the Scot admitted that the young player will find it difficult,
to replace the experienced centre backs at the club.
