Ozan Kabak admits he is finding it difficult to adjust to Liverpool life having entered the club at a time of unprecedented crisis.
The Reds went down to a sixth straight home defeat against Fulham on Sunday, and now find themselves down in eighth place in the table.
Kabak missed the Fulham game with a minor injury, and he says he is finding it tough to adapt to Premier League life.
“In England the level is really, really high," Kabak told the Reds' matchday programme.
“The Bundesliga is also a really high level, but I think the Premier League is higher in intensity and physical quality.
“I think it is the highest level of football and I am trying to adapt here. Thiago [Alcantara], Bobby [Firmino] and [Xherdan] Shaqiri played in the Bundesliga before they were here and our manager also managed in Germany, so I take their advice and try to give my best in training and the games.
“I have given everything in the last month, but of course it is hard to adapt here because there are good players and good teams in the Premier League.
“It is always harder to join a team in winter, to be honest, to play with new team-mates and obviously to move to a new country with a new language. It has been a challenge for me, but I have tried to adapt as soon as possible.”
Despite the issues, Kabak says he is relishing the challenge.
“It has been a month and I can say I have already settled in, but it is a big responsibility for me, to be honest, because there have been a lot of injuries in the centre-back position.
“I need to give my best for the team to help the team. So, like I said, it is a big responsibility, but I can do it.
“It is amazing to be a Liverpool player. Amazing. A dream came true for me because as a child I always wanted to play for this great club with these great players.
“Now I am here I want to make our fans happy and proud.”
