Hyypia after another deal at Liverpool
LIVERPOOL: Sami Hyypia is convinced he can earn himself a new contract at Liverpool because he claims he is tailor-made for Rafa Benitez’s controversial rotation policy.
Hyypia, who has made over 400 appearances during eight years at Anfield, is in the final year of his current deal.
The long-serving Finland defender, who turns 34 when Liverpool entertain Tottenham on Sunday, wants another contract to take him beyond his 35th birthday.
And Hyypia is hoping to use his extended run in Benitez’s side to prove he is worth another deal.
Liverpool manager Benitez has been forced to use Hyypia more than he would like this season because of Daniel Agger’s fractured metatarsal.
But Hyypia insists he will have no complaints if he has to take a back-seat when Agger returns to the side sometime next month.
“I’m enjoying this moment because I’m playing a lot of games,” said Hyypia. “But I’m not 20-years-old any more. The recovery time after games is a bit longer now than what it used to be.” – AFP
