Varsky Sports recapped an interview that Liverpool player Alexis Mac Allister did with Clank Media in Argentina on Friday, during which he discussed a range of subjects.
Signing for the Reds in the summer, the Argentine arrived from Brighton, where he had broken through following a transfer from Argentina.
He is now fully acclimatised to the Premier League, starring with Liverpool under Jürgen Klopp, whom he is ready to pretty much do anything for.
Speaking about his role at Anfield and his ability to play wherever the manager puts him, he said: “I feel like a team player, ready to take the place that Klopp tells me to take. At first, he saw me as a right-sided midfielder, but then I switched to playing as a five, and that benefits me a lot.”
While he is happy to play wherever he is asked to on the pitch, the midfielder had a few things to say about how players are looked at these days.
Often, we can see statistics being thrown around about how much a player has run during a game, with some using that as a barometer for the amount of effort is put into a performance.
For the Liverpool player, however, that means absolutely nothing.
He said: “I’m really not interested in knowing how much I ran. If you tell me how many good forward passes I made, that interests me much more. You have to know what to look at and what not to look at in the statistics. It’s a tool but it’s not everything.”
Mac Allister was also asked about You’ll Never Walk Alone and the impact it has on players at Liverpool.
He added: “It’s the most beautiful and strongest thing about Anfield. It was beautiful to hear it for the first time. It is an unforgettable and strong moment.”

The Fulham manager has made a statement prior to his team’s Sunday trip to play Liverpool.
Before Fulham’s travel to Anfield this weekend to play Liverpool, the manager of the team, Marco Silva, has disclosed the severity of the injuries sustained by his team.
This season, the Cottagers have been inconsistent, which is a fair way to sum up their recent performances. Since the beginning of October, they have won three, lost four, and drawn one.
Their most recent triumph over Wolves, 3-2, was marred by controversy due to dubious VAR calls, and the Premier League later declared their last-minute penalty to have been a blatant error.
Despite that, it was a confidence boosting win, if anything, which helped them earn three points for the first time since October 7 when they beat Sheffield United.
Ahead of the game with Jurgen Klopp’s side, Silva is able to welcome back midfielder Joao Palhinha after he missed the win over Wolves due to suspension. The Portuguese midfielder has the most tackles in the league by some distance with 52 – which is 12 more than second-place and 23 more than Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister, who leads the way for Liverpool.
In terms of players who will be missing, defender Issa Diop is doing more work with the team but still recovering and not fully fit. And the trio of Adama Traore (thigh) and Rodrigo Muniz (knee) and Tyrese Francois (knock) are all unavailable. Klopp is fortunate to have a mostly fully fit squad to choose from, a lot of players earned a run out during the 4-0 midweek win over LASK, but key figures such as Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ibrahim Konate were rested.
Long-term absentees from the team include Thiago (hip), Stefan Bajcetic (calf), Andy Robertson (shoulder), and Alisson Becker, who they are hoping will return before their match against Manchester United on December 17.
Additionally, Klopp disclosed that Diogo Jota is absent and may be sidelined for an extended period of time: “Both are out.” Ali has less of it. day by day. Not on Sunday, and probably not the next week, but it should be fine after that. We’re not sure how long it will take with Diogo, but it will be a little more
