Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, was all praise for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251, following the Turkish International’s bright start to life at Anfield.
The inventive schemer was signed by the Reds on a season-long loan from Real Madrid this summer.
Tipped by many to follow the footsteps of former Liverpool great, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045, Sahin has already made a sparkling start to his Anfield career.
In his four appearances so far, he has notched up 3 scalps, which include a brace against West Bromwich Albion in the third round of the Capital One Cup tie.
Earlier, the midfielder had also represented Borussia Dortmund, and won the Bundesliga best player award, before opting to move to Bernabeu.
However, he failed to break into the first team fold at Madrid, where he remained under the shadows of Alonso, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sami-Khedira-c32325, and Lassana Diarra.
Nonetheless, the Ulsterman feels that the Reds have found themselves a world class player in Sahin.
He commended everything that the 24-year old has achieved so far in his brief career, and feels that he possesses all the traits required to succeed in the Premier League.
“[Sahin] is a master technician, he's hungry and he wants to prove himself,” he told the reporters.
“Nuri was a wonderful player at a young age in Germany and did wonderfully well for Borussia Dortmund. He just found it hard to play through injury and was competing with in-form players like Khedira, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alonso-c5254 and Diarra.”
The Turkish sensation also pocketed a goal in his side’s emphatic 5-2 win against Norwich City on Saturday.
During the match, Sahin formed a potent partnership at the heart of the field with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196 and Joe Allen, also adding an extra bit of spice upfront with his sound attacking abilities.
Rodgers was not surprised to see the player do so well, despite being in his preliminary days at Merseyside. Instead, he opined that the midfielder has already proven his mettle at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 this season.
“He was a young player who I thought would fit in once he got up to speed and now he is starting to get up to speed. He was captain of Dortmund at a very young age so he has natural leadership qualities,” he added.
