Liverpool youngster Philippe Coutinho has been pleased with his start to life at Anfield and is hoping to make a big impact at the club.
The 20-year-old Brazilian has already impressed on Merseyside since making the move from Inter Milan in January, notching up two goals and two assists from his four starts.
Coutinho is happy with how things are going and the playmaker hopes he can establish himself as an important player for the Reds.
"Things have gone really well for me here so far," Coutinho, who spent time on loan at Espanyol last season, told the Liverpool Echo.
"Maybe because I played in Italy and spent six months in Spain last season that has helped me adapt more quickly to English football.
"Also I must thank my team-mates as they have helped me a lot with my first few games. Everyone has made me feel so welcome.
He added: "The games are quicker and more physical but I like that. I am learning all the time.
"Every player wants to improve and get better and I am the same. I am still young and have so much still to learn.
"I hope to be here for many years and become a big player for Liverpool. I will continue to work hard and do my best to improve my performances and help Liverpool."
Faith
Coutinho is enjoying working under manager Brendan Rodgers and wants to repay his faith by helping the club back to success.
"The manager here is still young but he's an excellent person and a very good coach. He speaks openly to everyone and I'm pleased to be working with him," he said.
"The manager has shown a lot of faith in me and hopefully I will repay that. I want to win some titles here to compensate the club for what they've done for me."
The Brazilian does not speak English and has the help of an interpreter but says he is keen to pick up the language.
He added: "Communication between myself and my team-mates is still a bit difficult. The people here speak very fast so it's difficult to pick up the words but I'm trying.
"If the manager wants to get some information across to me in training he speaks Spanish. (Fellow Brazilian) Lucas has also helped me a lot."
The Spain international has previously been linked with a host of top-flight clubs including Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham, while Everton were thought to have shown interest in January.
Reports suggest financially-stricken Sevilla could look to offload him as they seek to lower their wage bill.
Negredo, who joined Sevilla from Almeria in 2009, claims the club received offers for him in the winter transfer window but says it was not the right time to leave.
The 27-year-old, contracted at the Primera Liga side until 2016, hopes to join the Premier League when the moment is right.
"I have always said it, I have never hidden it," he told Estadio Deportivo. "It is a league that I like.
"I do not know if it will be soon, or maybe further down the road, or tomorrow, but I will play there.
"The president (Jose Maria del Nido) received some offers, but he did not accept them. Nobody said anything directly to me, and it was not the right moment to leave.
"I do not know what will happen in the future. It depends on what the club wants and what it needs."
Magpies goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski was in brilliant form, producing an outstanding performance to deny the Robins two precious promotion points.
Bialkowski even drew praise from MacDonald, who saw his team squander the opportunity to put clear daylight between themselves in second place and the chasing pack.
The Pole made important saves from Louis Thompson and Tommy Miller in the first half but it was in the second half when Swindon increased their pressure that the former Southampton stopper excelled.
Simon ferry saw one effort held on the line by the giant Bialkowski, who then used his long legs to keep out shots from Alan McCormack and James Collins in a hectic last 10 minutes.
At the death he also held a Darren Ward header on the line as the Robins plunged every man forward in a bid for victory.
"It is frustrating and disappointing and one of the reasons is that their goalkeeper has stopped us," said MacDonald.
"James Collins was unhappy at missing chances he would normally expect to put away but in the first half we did not have enough shots.
"The players are unhappy with the result. They feel the frustration of the fans and know they should have won.
"We have spoken about it and said that if the performances are good enough over the remainder of the season then we will win more games than we lose. There are only a handful of games left now and the pressure is on but we have some good players here and the belief is there that we will succeed."
Bialkowski even drew praise from Robins boss Kevin MacDonald, who was left to rue a missed opportunity to put clear daylight between his second-placed team and the chasing pack.

Magpies manager Chris Kiwomya, who saw his side hit the crossbar through Enoch Showumni's deflected effort, said: "Bartosz is a good lad and a great character. One day he will be a top class goalkeeper because he is only 24 and has plenty of time.
"I think 0-0 was a decent result and a useful point. Swindon put a lot of balls into our box and we had to withstand a lot of pressure. We had two very good counter-attacks and should have scored, but luckily our goalkeeper was in great form.
"We came here and battled hard but even when we were under the greatest pressure we were always looking for a chance on the break.
"Swindon bossed the second half. They are a good side, playing good football and poured balls into our box."
Kiwomya added: "We are six points off the play-offs. I will speak to the chief executive next week to see if I can get in a player or two before the transfer deadline but, if not, we will battle on."
Elliot Benyon fired the Gulls ahead after just six minutes, spinning on Jordan Chapell's shot to beat City goalkeeper Michael Ingham from 10 yards. Ingham could do nothing about Ryan Jarvis' winner, a thumping 20-yard drive into the top corner after 23 minutes.
York striker Richard Cresswell reduced the arrears with a 73rd-minute penalty after Torquay left-back, and last man, Thomas Cruise was sent-off for denying Josh Carson a goalscoring opportunity, but it was too little, too late for the Minstermen.
It was 19th-placed Torquay's second 2-1 home win in five days and moved them five points clear of second-bottom York with six games remaining.
"The game is 90 minutes long not 20 and you cannot afford to give the opposition a two-goal start because it's tough going getting back into it," Worthington said. "We gave away two very soft goals.
"But I thought they showed a lot of spirit and they passed the ball a lot better than we have been, which I was very pleased with.
"But we need a ruthless streak and more conviction around the opposition goal and I think that is down to self-belief, and when you have gone 15 matches without a win it's bound to have an effect on confidence.
"It's about being brave and taking the responsibility on and making it happen. There were a few situations where we could have made things happen and we didn't. You really have to make things happen in this game and if you wait for them to happen, they don't happen.
"Games are running down, time is running down so we need to do it sooner rather than later.
"There's six games left for us now. We need the points on the board and we have another long trip away to Bristol Rovers next weekend."
The Shrimpers should have gone ahead after 26 minutes but Andrew Fleming contrived to shoot wide with the goal gaping after good work by Jack Redshaw.
It was Wimbledon who took the lead through Kevin Sainte-Luce in the 38th minute after a lovely flowing move. Rashid Yussuff played Gary Alexander in behind the visitor's defence and the latter's left-wing cross was bundled home by 19-year-old Sainte-Luce from four yards out.
The hosts doubled their advantage six minutes later from the penalty spot when Chris McCready handled a powerful Alexander effort. Jack Midson stepped up and his spot-kick into the bottom left-hand corner sent Morecambe goalkeeper Barry Roche the wrong way.
Bentley cut a frustrated figure after the game, questioning the referee's decision that led to the penalty on the stroke of half-time.
"We started brightly, we played some fantastic stuff and we should have taken the lead," said Bentley.
"After the whole week's preparation and the hundreds of miles we've travelled down to Wimbledon we just wanted a fair crack of the whip and we haven't got that.
"I don't want to say too much because referees and officials have got a hard job to do, but the result has been caused by two poor decisions. That's the be all and end all.
"I'm massively disappointed because I think we deserved something out of the game. All our hard work has been undone by two decisions that were out of our control, and that makes the journey home a bit longer. It's probably the lowest I've felt after a game."
First-half goals from Kevin Sainte-Luce and Jack Midson saw the Dons move seven points clear of the drop.
Despite seeing his side move up to 16th place in the table with the 2-0 win, Ardley insists there is still plenty of work to be done.
"We're nearly clear of relegation, but nearly is not good enough so we've got to keep pushing on - it's a strange league this year and I'm sure it will go down to the wire," said the Dons boss.
"It was a strange game. On Friday I was really concerned after training, the players looked very leggy and were mentally and physically tired - they were lifeless.
"After the first 30 minutes I was hoping we could come in at half-time with the score still 0-0. Fair play to Morecambe, they passed the ball well and were by far the better team for the first half an hour.
"We changed the tactics after the break and it was a thoroughly professional second half performance that never looked in doubt."
Ardley added: "We just want to get points on the board as quickly as we can because I don't want to be looking over my shoulder with two games to go, we want to put it to bed ASAP so we can look forward and get the team to express themselves."
