林加德此前惯常踢边锋位置,而在穆里尼奥手下他有时被改造成10号位。在接受英国老牌足球杂志《442》采访时,林加德谈到了快速适应的秘密。
“我看了不少伊涅斯塔的视频,看他是怎么踢的。我不会说我完全复制他,但我肯定是看了他很多比赛,然后把他的一部分融入到我的比赛中。我一直都很喜欢带球,在狭小空间中创造机会,然后让危险发生。”【I've watched videos of Andres Iniesta and looked at how he plays. I wouldn't say I have copied him, but I certainly look at him and want to take parts of his game and add them to mine.I've always enjoyed dribbling with the ball and collecting it in tight spaces, then trying to make things happen.】
林加德也谈到穆帅对他的影响:“他把我移到了那里,我进了几个球。我喜欢踢这个位置。”林加德还没有在曼联揭幕战登场,而本周末客战布莱顿,林加德有望首秀。
