McParland: Kenny still loves scoring the winning goal

Writing for Liverpool’s official website today, Reds Academy Director Frank McParland has said how Kenny Dalglish still loves to get involved in practice matches at the Academy:

“The cold snap has meant we have been unable to do much on the outdoor surfaces, although the U18s did play an indoor eight-a-side match against the reserves on Tuesday and it went really well. There was some great football being played in a two hour session with roll on, roll off substitutes. John McMahon and Rodolfo were really pleased with the way the players performed and I enjoyed it too, alongside Kenny Dalglish and Pep. I think the only thing that disappointed Kenny was that he didn’t get the chance to get out there and play himself! He often likes to get involved in the practice matches with the U15s and the U16s and normally comes in with a big grin on his face having just scored the winning goal.”

McParland also praised the appointment of Damien Comolli:

“I’ve known Damien for over a decade so his appointment is one I have been delighted by. In my first spell here I was scouting for Liverpool’s first-team and I used to bump into him a lot when he was doing a similar role with Arsenal. He has great experience, has an in-depth knowledge of players across Europe and I’m sure he will be a great acquisition for this football club. His philosophy is to bring through young talent and he’s since told me that we will be seeing a lot of him here at the Academy. That can only be good news for us. He has a strong interest in young, elite players and we are already in the process of looking to sign some very talented teenagers. He has a great network in Europe and when you combine that with what we already have in place here, it promises to be very exciting times for us.”

This week it is self-proclaimed Liverpool supporter and Tennis ace Caroline Wozniacki!
