http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonjo-Shelvey-c19081, has revealed he feels more comfortable now under the management of Brendan Rodgers, and the Northern Irishman’s playing philosophy best suited his game.
After arriving at Merseyside from Charlton Athletic in May 2010, the English International took the fast lane towards his development. So far, he has capped 43 appearances for the Reds, and also netted 2 goals.
Earlier, Liverpool were hit by a setback during a Premier League game against Manchester City, as they lost regular midfield option, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-c22528 Leiva, to a thigh injury. He has been ruled out of action for up to three months.
The boss at Anfield, Rodgers, has opted to give more opportunity to the 20-year old ever since. The midfielder has stepped up to the task so far, and has been one notable performer for a team which is currently in shambles.
At the moment, Shelvey is leading the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 Under-21 team in the Euro qualifiers.
Speaking to the media about his renewed belief and confidence, the talented play-maker attributed it to the arrival of Rodgers at Anfield.
He insisted that the Ulsterman’s playing ethos best suited his game, and he, along with a couple of other young players in the squad, feel more confident of playing their part effectively under his supervision.
“He's given me a fair crack of the whip and I finally have a chance to prove my worth. The way the manager likes us to play football suits me down to the ground. I just want to keep going now,” he said.
“Yes as well as myself he's given Adam Morgan, Raheem Sterling and a few others a chance to get into the team.”
Shelvey then went on to praise the influential presence of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196 in the team. He pointed out that all the youngsters look up to him for guidance and help, and termed him as one of the greatest Liverpool player of all times.
“He does so much for England not just for Liverpool, like he did at the Euros. He is such a great player and will go down as one of Liverpool's all-time greats.”
