Kolo Toure looking eager to perform for Liverpool – Football News
Liverpool’s new signing, Kolo Toure, has admitted that he is willing to give his all to the club and is looking forward to the start of the new season. The defender admitted that he is keen on helping the club to win trophies in the next two years.
Toure joined the Reds on a free transfer after his contract with Manchester City was not renewed. He has great experience having previously played for the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 and Manchester City, and the player is regarded as a replacement for retiring Jamie Carragher.
The Ivorian international claimed that he has the opportunity to continue playing for a top side in his career. The player admitted that he will fight for his chances at the club and is eager to perform again following two torrid seasons at the City of Manchester Stadium.
The central defender is keen to help his new side in competing for major honours and is delighted with his move to Anfield.
“Liverpool have given me the chance to show that at 32 I'm still one of the best defenders, and I will fight for that. These past two years of being 'part-time' have helped me refresh and be more hungry. I want to try and help Liverpool win trophies this season,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The 32-year-old added that he has played a lot in pressure and insisted that he knows how to replace a great defender like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jamie-Carragher-c17728. The Premier League winner is not worried by the competition for places and claims that it is always good for the team.
“It adds pressure because it's always hard to replace a big, big player like Jamie. I'm looking forward to that because I like challenges. I am used to competition. The only way to improve a team is to make players fight for their place,” he concluded.
