Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard has admitted he was ‘selfish’ when he wanted to play in his favourite position.
The England international midfielder admits he is now happy to play anywhere for the Reds.
“I used to worry because I was selfish and wanted to be in my favoured position every game – like you do on the playground when you’re a kid,” Gerrard told the News of the World.
“But the game has changed. I have learned to understand I have a job to do for the team.
“You can’t afford to be selfish. If I play out of position and we get a win I still get the same buzz.
“If the manager says to me I’m playing centre midfield or off the front man, there’s no massive difference to me.
“But yes, I enjoy playing further forward, especially behind Fernando Torres.
“I’ll play wherever the manager wants me to play and not worry about it.”
