Dirk Kuyt doesn't mind stepping aside for Torres

Dirk Kuyt is willing to play anywhere in the team for Liverpool. After scoring two goals against Wigan at the week-end he accepts that he will probably be back out on the wing when Fernando Torres returns from injury. The Holland international has always shown great professionalism and it’s a credit to him that he always gives 100% no matter where he plays.
He said:
"I didn't feel any added pressure stepping in for Fernando up front. He was always going to be a big loss, but when the boss turned to me and asked me to fill in, I was more than pleased."People go on about my role in the team, but I can honestly say it doesn't concern me. All I am bothered about is playing and contributing, and I feel I have been doing both this season.
"It is important for the team to have Fernando back as soon as possible, and if that means a return to the right flank for me, I won't be complaining.
"Wherever the manager needs me to play, I'll be there, giving it my best. I don't see this as a chance to stake a claim for a place up front alongside him when he is fit. That has never crossed my mind.
"I have enjoyed my time on the right and feel I have contributed with a few goals and a few assists. Honestly, it would be fine either way for me."

His work rate and attitude is exemplary, but i have to say he is a striker ,tis nice to know we have a great replacement for Torres when not fit.
