Pacheco wants games

Last updated : 26 July 2011 By Al Campbell

Pacheco admits he needs to start playing regular first team football if he is to develop and says he may have to leave Liverpool to do so.

"I hoped for a lot more [at Liverpool]; why should I deny it?," said the striker.

"I was told I was going to have opportunities; quite simply, if they don't give me more opportunities, I am very clear I want to leave.

"Above all, I want to play and if I have to leave to do that then there will be no problem.

"Some day I would like to return home. If it happens, it happens.

"Logically it's a disappointment to see that you don't have any playing time.

"But in such a situation all you can do is work and I hope to have minutes in the Under-20 World Cup to demonstrate what I am worth."

Pacheco's Liverpool career has stalled because he seems to be away on international duty almost every other week.
