Dalglish: If Capello likes him then he’s not a bad judge!

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has praised full back Martin Kelly. He told Liverpoolfc.tv:

“Martin never played for us last season after the West Ham game in February. He went away and worked with the medical people, who tried to get him a bit stronger and did some prevention work to try and avoid the injuries he was getting. He played very well at Arsenal, so if he (Capello) likes him then he’s not a bad judge! He was excellent at Arsenal, but it’s only one game and we’ve got to make sure we build on that and try and look after him as well as we possibly can.”

He believes the work of the Academy will continue to pay dividends:

“We’ve stated quite clearly the importance of a successful Academy. The success isn’t in winning the Youth Cup or the Premier Academy League, it’s for us to develop players. We’re delighted with the progress the Academy has made and to have five players in England U21s is great recognition for the Academy, but it doesn’t mean to say we’ve got to stop there. We’ll just keep working and trying to improve every aspect of the football club – and that includes the Academy.”
