(Reuters) - Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum believes preparations carried out in training will help him adapt to a deep-lying role in Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final second-leg against Manchester City. The Dutchman was impressive in a holding role during Liverpool's goalless Premier League draw at Everton on Saturday and Wijnaldum said he was prepared by manager Juergen Klopp for such situations. "The manager was trying it in pre-season and he said it might happen in the season," Wijnaldum told British media. Liverpool will need to be competitive in midfield to secure a semi-final spot but Wijnaldum expects the visitors to take the fight to Manchester City. "Of course we know that we are not already in the next round, we first have to play the game."
