Jeremie Frimpong is feeling settled and enjoying his first pre-season as a Liverpool player.
The Netherlands international featured in the second half of Liverpool’s friendly against AC Milan on Saturday, playing in front of nearly 50,000 supporters at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium.
Although Arne Slot’s side were ultimately beaten 4-2, leaving fans disappointed with the result, Frimpong emphasized that getting minutes on the pitch was the most important takeaway.
He told Liverpoolfc.com: “Of course. Even though it’s pre-season, no-one likes to lose. But pre-season is to get fit. We’re getting there and we’re getting fit.
“[The plan was] to press them and create chances with the players we have. And we did create some chances but we weren’t clinical enough.”
Frimpong was deployed in a wide attacking role on the right flank after coming on against Milan, where he posed a threat on several occasions.
When asked about playing in that position, the former Bayer Leverkusen player explained that he approaches every role with the same enthusiasm and commitment.
“For me, anywhere I play, I play the same,” Frimpong replied.
“I’m an attacking full-back so if I play right wing, right-back, right wing-back, I play the same anyway. So, wherever the manager wants to play me, that’s where I play.”
