Nabil El Zhar is delighted with his progress at Liverpool this
season.
“The manager has said to me that he wanted to give me more
chances in the first-team this season,” El Zhar told the Daily
Post. “He told me that I had to work hard and listen to advice
and take my opportunities when they come.
“He hasn’t said anything in particular to me. I just know what I
have to do, stay focused and take my chance.
“I feel that I’m doing okay, but I know I can do better. I am
getting more confident and I am improving with every game, then we
will see if I can start games.”
El Zhar arrived at the club having impressed as a support
striker but, having been employed on both flanks with Gary Ablett’s
reserve side, has fashioned a role as a wing man for Rafa
Benitez.
“I used to play as a second striker but I’ve played on the left
and right hand side at Liverpool,” he says. “I think I’m better
down the right because I am right footed, but I will play anywhere
in the forward line.
“I hope to play more games this season and prove myself. When
you are playing with world class players like Steven Gerrard you
can only improve.”
