Maxi: I was made to play here

Some new Red's quotes referring to the team:

"It's going fantastic so far and I couldn't have hoped for better, It's so different to daily life in Madrid, but I think I am settling in and it's even better here than I expected it to be.

"Gradually as the weeks have gone by, I've been getting used to daily life in the city. I think it will be even better when I'm more settled. It's totally different here to the football in La Liga. Certainly you are aware of the fact it is a lot more physical, tougher and aggressive - they are the big differences.

"But wherever you play football in the world, you still play with a round ball, so you get used to it. What's more, I really like the competitive, physical aspect of the game. I think it suits my style and I'm enjoying it."

Maxi Rodriguez has revealed how he believes the aggressive nature of the Barclays Premier League will bring out the best in him.

The Argentina winger has made six appearances for Liverpool since completing his January transfer from Atletico Madrid. And rather than be perturbed by the notoriously combative style of English football, Maxi admits it's something he is relishing.
