VITAL DEFENDER

Martin Skrtel has been at Liverpool since the last 5 and half years and according to him, he has enjoyed each and every moment that he has spent at the club.

The 29 years old centre back has played under a total of 4 managers at Anfield and has had a fine tuning with each and every one of them.

Skrtel has never been out of form for a long period of time during his tenure at Liverpool. Yes, he has had a few bad days, but, that happens with every footballer. On more occasions than not, he has left the ground with his head held high.

In the ongoing season too, the Czechoslovakian is proving to be a vital part of Liverpool’s defence.

Liverpool’s chances of winning the Premier league crown might have been affected by their below par outing against Villa on Saturday, but, it’s very much possible for them to qualify for the Champions League. They are in top 4 and are surely capable of being there till the time the season finishes.

Skrtel says that the purpose of his team coming into the season was to battle hard for a Champions League spot and they would keep fighting for it right till the very end.
In one of his interviews, the defender said, “During the previous season, the manager and the players weren’t quite used to each other. So, it wasn’t that easy, but, this time around, we started with the purpose of fighting hard to make it to the Champions League and I am glad that we are on course. Hopefully, we manage to achieve that.”

Skrtel has played more than 200 matches in Reds jersey so far and has found the back of the net on 11 occasions.
