Naby Keita not aiming to replicate the Liverpool legend

Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita is not aiming to replicate the Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard but will instead attempt to carve his own legacy at Anfield. "You see the No.8 is really legendary and to wear this shirt now it is legendary," he said. "It used to belong to a player who was a legend, who was respected here. "When I was a child, that really was in my mind, to play for a great club like Liverpool. Well, here I am now, I don't mean I'm not going to be like him because each of us are individuals. "He left his own mark, I want to leave my own mark, I am going to work really hard to leave my own mark as he did. To play for Liverpool, that is a dream I had as a child and here I am now." "I am really motivated to speak English, it is really important for me. I am following a course," he said. "I want to be able to speak to the coach, I want to speak to the other players on the team and I am really working hard. "I am hoping in six months I will be able to do these interviews in English.” And, once he has mastered English, he has set his sights on the local dialect. "I find the scouse accent a bit difficult but I will try my best to learn some," he said. "I do not know any scouse, I have been trying to speak English, I have not been able to learn any scouse yet."
