Roy Hodgson happy to experiment with team selection
The current manager of Liverpool football club, Roy Hodgson is busy in experimenting with the Liverpool squad and keen on giving chances to newer players to perform. In a very recent Liverpool FC match, Roy left out the skipper Steven Gerrard and other key
players of the squad for the sake of rest.
Roy Hodgson is of the view that his team’s previous performance and superb win of 4 goals to 1 over the Steaua Bucharest in the Europa League is a very vivid proof his decision was correct. The performance of Liverpool in the match against Steaua Bucharest
is no doubt remarkable and it has earned a lot of faith in the players to perform even better in the upcoming matches. While talking about his decision for the match against Steaua Bucharest, Roy explained his views very happily and told the media that he
is very happy with the way his team has performed. He said that Liverpool FC is full of international match winning players and the players have shown their class by performing incredibly well in the Europa league. Later he added that giving a rest to the
key players was very important as he is focusing on the upcoming match against Manchester United and the rest in the previous match has given them some mental relaxation, which was very important.
Despite the fact that key players were on rest and Liverpool team looked a bit colourless due to the absence of the super star performers, the selected squad played brilliantly and earned a perfect win for the team. Joe Cole scored the first goal for the
Liverpool, which was later equalized by Cristian Tanase. Later, two goals by David Ngog and one goal by Lucas Leiva earned Liverpool a convincing victory.
Later after the match Roy Hodgson expressed his views and said that he was very confident about the performance of his team. The sixty-three year old coach added that his players have done a tremendous job in the field and he is feeling very happy and confident
about his team’s future. Later he added that the good result is solid proof of his valid decision and the chance given by him to the other players has certainly given the underrated players a confidence boost to perform in the other crucial matches.
While talking about the two goals by David Ngog, Roy Hodgson said that Ngog is a very talented player but still he is lacking some confidence to play in crucial matches for the team. He said that in the first half, Ngog seemed out of touch but later he showed
his class and he is very happy with the way Ngog has performed.Roy admired the game and role of Joe Cole in the match as well and said that Joe is a very good asset for the team and he has shown some good footwork in the match.
Whereas on the other hand the coach of the losing team, Ilie Dumitrescu seemed very upset and disappointed by the performance of Steaua Bucharest. Dumitrescu expressed his views by saying that he is very disappointed with the performance. Later he admired
the game of Liverpool FC and told the media that Liverpool is a very strong team and it has the capacity to win this year’s UEFA Champion League’s trophy.
Now team Liverpool will face veteran rivals, Manchester United, in the next match. It is reported that Manchester United coach, Sir Alex Ferguson, has made ten changes in the team after a disappointing draw against Rangers on Tuesday. It was a very ordinary
performance by the Manchester United team as they were not able to score a single goal in the match. The goalless draw has made their chief coach, Sir Alex even more frustrated and concerned about the team’s performance. No doubt the match between the Roy
Hodgson’s eleven and Sir Alex Ferguson’s eleven is going to be breathtaking.
