New Liverpool signing
Sotirios Kyrgiakos says he has calmed down since his time at
Rangers.
He said: "I am very happy to have this chance even though I had
just signed a new contract with AEK. But although it was a good
contract, you never stop having ambitions in life, and that is why
I am here.
"When you are approached by a club like Liverpool, it is an
offer you just cannot refuse.
"I hope that I can bring my strength to this squad, I am good in
the air and I have a lot of experience now, so I hope I can be of
benefit to Liverpool. I have played
for Rangers in Scotland and
Frankfurt in Germany, that has given me a lot of experience of
competitive leagues so I believe I will adapt quickly."
He added: "I know that there have not been many Greek players
who have been successful in the English game, so I feel that I have
something to prove for my country, that we can play at this
level.
"For me it is a chance to have success at the very top. I was
injured when Greece were European champions in 2004, these things
happen in football. So I have plenty of motivation to do well in
the Premier
League and help Liverpool to be
successful.
"I had a few disciplinary problems in Scotland, but not too
much. I feel I have learned now how to be physical in this style of
football."
