The Serbian star at the World Cup, Milan Jovanovic has stated that this will be the season that Liverpool will stun everyone with the comeback they are going to make. The new Liverpool forward has expressed that he is optimistic about the coming season and hopes the Roy Hodgson and his men will conquer the English Premier League this season.
The 29 year old reckoned that one of the reason he joined Liverpool was because of its history and heritage. He said that he knew this for certain that the line up assembled for the Reds was a threatening one, one that could take on any team in the world and defeat them.
He confessed that though the Liverpool team did not perform up to expectations in the last season but that was expected after the amount of bad luck they faced. For a major part of the season, most of their major players were injured and after that, they made some mistakes that destroyed their whole campaign. He confessed that he will though give his best in the team and prove that he can perform in the starting line-up.
In a press release the star stated, “When I knew I was signing for Liverpool I felt it was very important to learn as much as I could about the club, the city and the people. I have always known about Liverpool's great history. Eighteen times champions of England, five times winners of the Champions League”.

He firmly believes that they can make more history in the next few years. He said that he also learned about the culture of Liverpool, things like the Beatles and the famous accent that the people have.
He admitted that the Liverpool’s captain Steven Gerrard deciding to stay for the English club was one of the most important moments for the club this season. He stated that if the legendary player that has been with Liverpool for a long time, decided to make a runaway, the Reds could be lost now.
He also appreciated the efforts Gerrard made in reuniting the team which ultimately helped the star Spanish striker Fernando Torres to decide to stay loyal to the Reds. He also praised him bringing the Chelsea star Joe Cole to the club. He said that he was a very valuable addition to the team.
The Serb revealed that Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic was an important part in the deal which made him come to the Merseyside. On the issue he stated, “I spoke to Nemanja Vidic about Liverpool and he said good things about the club and the players we have here. Of course, he fights for Manchester United and he thinks they are the best, but Liverpool have had more success”.
He added, “Nemanja is a good friend of mine, but I promise him that we are opponents he will have a big fight”.
Jovanovic also informed that his family is also going to come to England. He said that they will be living in Liverpool with him. He relayed that he and his family fully supported him in the change and hoped him to have a great career. He also said that his family was happy to stay in Liverpool and he was thinking that his children might even start to speak Scrouse in a little bit of time.
On playing for Liverpool in the English Premier League, he informed that he was anxiously anticipating the matches. He said that he was humbled on thinking to play with the legends in Liverpool, “I am proud to be a teammate of players like Gerrard, Carragher and (Fernando) Torres”.
