Wataru Endo has its dedication to the cause in Liverpool underlines despite his marginal role, insistently that he is 'still happy to be part of this club'.
That has been his role in a role under Arne Slot that even if he played every minute of every game between now and the end of the season, Endo still fails at the total of last season.
After starting for 34 games and clocked for 2,848 minutes on the field under Jurgen Klopp, the midfielder was offered only 683 minutes this time.
Although he would start again in the Premier League this season, the Japanese captain has still succeeded in maximizing his input, including a decisive cameo in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Wolves.
This can be partially attributed to the excellent form of Ryan Gravenberch, where Slot only uses endo as a break-glass option from the bank that he, speaking with LFCTV, stated that he has comfortable.
“I know what to do on the field and although I only have five or 10 minutes, I just try to show myself,” he said.
Tell him that he is still able to contribute in view of his lack of minutes and often plays away from his role in midfield, Endo replied: “It is what I always try.
“Actually, I don't mind which position I play, because I also played as a defender.
“The only thing I can do is show myself every time I have a chance, just keep working hard.
“I am still happy to be part of this club and I can still feel that I can do something for this club.”
Although things will probably change in the summer if the right offer occurs, the use of Endo will be a boost for supporters who keep him to a large extent.
The 32-year-old man of the match against Wolves in the poll of the club, despite the fact that he only played the dangerous Matheus Cunha for 19 minutes normal time, revealed that it was the specific instruction of lock.
“Their No. 10 is a good player, so I had to take him with man versus man,” Endo explained.
'[He told me] I have to go everywhere, cover everywhere on the field. '
Endo concluded: “I think we need everyone. The games come twice a week.
“We need everyone and of course not only those who start, but also players who have been immersed are very important to win every game. We just work for it. “
