The German coach evaluated the possibilities to place the Argentine midfielder 

Liverpool’s coach Jürgen Klopp surprised the media and the fans in his last press conference with the Reds, ahead of their next game against Manchester City in the Etihad Stadium on the thirteenth day of the 2023/2024 Premier League season, where he revealed the concrete position where he likes the most to place the Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.

In this sense, it would be worth remembering that the ideal position of the Argentine player has been a subject of controversy and discussion in the last few months, as the fans claimed he is not a number 6 but the German coach repeatedly places him there, and he has finally confronted the debate in the club’s press conference.

The German coach, who admitted that in fact Alexis Mac Allister is not a number 6, analyzed the profile of the Argentine midfielder and gave his evaluation about the performances the player has delivered during the season, stating what he thinks the right position for the Argentine international should be at Liverpool.

The manager revealed his favorite skill in the player

In this respect, the manager revealed that although Mac Allister is not a number 6, he can play at that position if the team defends really well. "Is Macca a natural born 6? No. Did football develop in the last year in directions that we could have mentioned before? Yes. Does that mean Macca can play the 6? Yes, it depends on how the whole team defends, and if you do that properly, you have an excellent player who can find passes..”, confessed Klopp, who would like to profit the player’s skills to face Manchester City
