When I first came here I was a little homesick. I did not know many people, did not understand the language and did not know my way around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cMy English has really improved, Sylvain Distin and Louis Saha have helped me a lot and practice with me, also Seamus Coleman and Bily Diniyar Bilyaletdinov as we live in the same building. My girlfriend speaks very good English too and she helps me a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt has helped me settle. I like Liverpool and feel good here. The people are nice and I feel happy and confident living in the city. I have favourite restaurants, cafes and shops and feel good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After failing to make an impact early on in the season, he finally got his chance towards the end of the campaign and put in some impressive performances in the last month of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He added: \u201cMy first game was against Aston Villa, I think I did quite well for the 20 minutes I was on the pitch and we got a draw.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAfter that I played at Wolverhampton and in that game I was so tired. I wasn\u2019t sure why but I had very little energy. I had a chance to score but it didn\u2019t happen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHopefully I will score my first goal soon. My last game was against Blackburn and I had some good moments in that game too. I thought I played better.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span id=\"divAdnetKeyword\"\/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><em>Our<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><span><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/GoalUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/93900\/93900.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"48\" height=\"11\" \/><\/em><\/a><\/span><em>\u00a0provides the best breaking news online and our\u00a0<\/em><span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GoalUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/93800\/93899.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"49\" height=\"10\" \/><\/em><\/a><\/span><em>\u00a0football fan community is unmatched worldwide.
