Liverpool defender Daniel Agger is beginning to feel frustrated at Anfield due to the lack of first-team action, but he insists that he will remain at the club for as long as possible.
The Danish international has fallen down the pecking order after Brendan Rodgers signed Kolo Toure this Summer from Manchester City.
However, the reason for losing his starting spot was due to being sidelined, but throughout the injury, Rodgers changed his system to a back three and it was clear that that formation didn’t include the defender.
Speaking in a recent interview, Agger admitted that he feels he should be in the starting XI, but he knows that football can be like that some time.
‘It is difficult to describe but I want to play all the time, every single game,’ he said.
‘When you are not playing that is difficult but, while that is sad, I just try to work even harder every single day in training, not complaining just doing everything a bit extra.
‘I am more than capable of being in the team – I feel I belong there – but it is the manager’s decision and sometimes that is difficult to change in training.
‘You need to grab the chance when it is there – that is what football is all about.
‘I know I am here and as long as I am doing everything I can to be in that team, and I feel I am good enough and the manager can use me, then I’ll be here.’
‘Competition is what this club has been about and should always be and that is a good thing because we want to win something,’ he said.
‘I’m not the type of player who needs an explanation, I just carry on with my thing and try to do everything to get back into the team.
‘It’s been a bit longer than I hoped for but when you get the chance you need to do everything to keep your place.’
