Liverpool coach Arne Slot has spoken about Alexis Mac Allister, calling him a very important player.
The coach of the newly crowned Premier League champions spoke at a pre-match press conference on Friday and was asked about Alexis Mac Allister. Here is what he had to say:
“I don’t think he is underrated by me because he played maybe every game or close to every game.
Maybe the few times he didn’t play that was because he needed rest or he got a knock, so he couldn’t play.
“[He’s a] very important player, [has] game intelligence [and is] so comfortable on the ball.
“But what makes him even more special to me is normally players that have so much game inside and are so comfortable on the ball are not as aggressive and intense without the ball.
“He is one of the few players in the world that combines this great game intelligence, great on the ball, but [with] a tenacity without the ball. In our midfield, he stands out in terms of tenacity.”
Every coaches he played for has good words on him. Technically they understand how valuable he’s. As I said before, he’s not to show off but to solve. He has everything you need for a footballer. Intelligence, vision, ball control, ball recovery, positioning, passing, Goal scoring..almost everything..
Only one weakness I noticed that the ‘weight on his passing’. No idea I am correct or not, anyway that he can improve by experience.
Liverpool still using him as DM or CM. Give him more attacking opportunities. He will go to next level.
We are lucky to have him in Argentina NT.
Mac Allister is the embodiment of a modern, allround, versatile midfielder, can do it all, and can do it well.
