Harvey Elliott asserts his role in Liverpool squad ahead of Europa League clash
Harvey Elliott, Liverpool’s rising star, is making a bold statement to his boss, Jurgen Klopp, about his role in the club. The 21-year-old winger, who has frequently been labeled a “supersub,” is eager to shed that title and take on a more important role in the starting lineup.
Elliott has appeared in only six of his 27 Premier League outings this season, but his performances have been nothing short of spectacular. As Liverpool prepares for an important Europa League quarter-final against Atalanta, Elliott is keen to grasp the opportunity and prove his value as a starter.
Elliott stated: “Quite frankly, I’m wanting to be starting games. I want to be one of those players walking out rather than coming on.
“I’m not saying I’m not grateful for every opportunity I get in a Liverpool shirt. But I want to kick on for myself. I’m not a kid anymore. I’m a man and I’m growing up quickly. I’ve got to take responsibilities in my own hands and if that means knocking on the gaffer’s door it has to happen.
“I don’t like to kick up too much of a fuss. I’m part of the team and I don’t want it to look like I’m being selfish. But I want to cement my spot in this team.”
Elliott’s desire to make an impact was clear as he spoke about the team’s desire to recover from their recent draw against Manchester United. With the Europa League championship one of Liverpool’s goals this season, Elliott is convinced that the club would stop at nothing to win.
As Klopp considers his selection for the coming game, Elliott’s message is clear: he is ready to step up and play an important part in Liverpool’s quest for silverware. Elliott’s quality and desire will make him a valuable asset to Klopp and Liverpool as they seek to regain European dominance.
