Crystal Palace manager, Roy Hodgson has come out to hail his young midfielder, Eberechi Eze. He recently revealed that the youngster is clearly a talented and versatile player.
According to him, Eberechi is a footballer who can play in a lot of positions and he’ll keep encouraging him to be a good all-round midfield player.
Roy added that he doesn’t think it’s a problem playing Eze in a position slightly in-field because that’s where he spent a lot of his time for Queens Park Rangers.
His words, “Well, Eberechi’s a player that’s played in lots of positions. He’s a very talented ballplayer, a very good offensive midfielder. We’re trying to encourage him to be a good all-round midfield player.”
“I don’t think it’s a problem playing him in a position slightly in-field because that’s where he spent a lot of his time for Queens Park Rangers. He even spent a lot of time centrally in behind the forward.”
“So it’s just a different position that we asked him to play on Monday night in terms of giving us the setup to play Leicester that we wanted.”
“But it certainly wasn’t asking him to do anything that he’s uncomfortable with, and if you ask him, of course, he prefers to be further infield than playing out wide.”
