Alexis Mac Allister, a midfielder for Liverpool, recently gave an interview to the Spanish media outlet La Media Inglesa, in which he discussed a wide range of topics, including his future plans. He also discussed a variety of other topics.
The midfielder, who is 26 years old and was acquired by Liverpool from Brighton in 2023 for approximately 35 million pounds, has been one of the most successful players for the club this season under the direction of Arne Slot.
On paper, it may appear that Mac Allister has not made much of a contribution, as he has only scored three goals in 33 appearances. However, the Argentine has formed an excellent partnership with Ryan Gravenberch in the middle of the field.
A recent explanation was provided by Wataru Endo, another central midfielder, regarding the reasons why he enjoys playing alongside Mac Allister.
During an episode of The Wataru Endo Podcast, he stated, “He is an incredible player.” When it comes to the field, he is capable of doing everything, not only offensively but also defensively, to tell you the truth.
Endo continued by saying, “During the previous season, he also played as a number six on occasion, and I believe that he was performing very well.” He is a fighter, he has a good shot, and he is also good at passing. Therefore, I am very excited to engage in play with him.
Mac Allister has expressed his desire to go back to Argentina in the future, which comes at a time when he is enjoying an impressive run of success for the Premier League leaders.
“Every Argentine player thinks about returning home,” he said in an interview with La Media Inglesa.
“Then there are situations in which one begins to feel more concerned about their family, their safety, or the state of the nation…” These are decisions that are made by them. “I always say that my country is a country that I love, and I would want nothing more than to go back to my country.”
Over the course of his childhood, Mac Allister, who was a member of the Argentinos Juniors team based in Buenos Aires, stated, “Beyond the negative things we have, we have a lot of positive things.” I really hope that I will be able to come back at some point, but it will be in the future.
As was mentioned earlier, Mac Allister discussed a variety of topics, one of which was his performance under Arne Slot, who has adopted a more patient and possession-based style of play since taking over for Jurgen Klopp.
“I think the main difference is that before we were a very, very direct team and today we’re a team where we try to be a little more patient and a little more possessive,” the player from Argentina stated.
“I believe that having possession of the ball and, at times, being able to rest with the ball has helped us a great deal to be more refreshed. This is due to the fact that the players we have available are of a high quality, and they also have the physical capacity to play.
The 26-year-old player responded to a question about Klopp’s departure by saying, “He is a legend.” While it was unfortunate, you must remember that it was his choice, and you must respect that. This was a challenging time of year. In the event that you hire a new coach, things will shift, and anything could take place.
“We were fortunate in that the club was able to find a fantastic coach. I really like Arne. Our performance is exceeding what people had anticipated. to tell you the truth, it’s a lot better than I anticipated we would be able to do. In addition, he is to blame for that. He is full of power and has a lot of ambition.
The two individuals who were the most significant to my presence in this location were Klopp and Julian Ward.A conversation with Klopp took place prior to my signing with them, and they showed a great deal of interest in me. Know that they really wanted me to be a part of this team and that I would play and be an important part of the team. This was very important information to keep in mind.
