Liverpool new-boy Iago Aspas believes
the club's gruelling pre-season
schedule has prepared him for the
battle to earn a starting place.
The Spaniard, who arrived at Anfield
from Celta Vigo in June, has shown
promising form ahead of the new
campaign, scoring three goals in four
warm-up matches.
He now hopes to extend that run into his debut season in England, and is certain
that the intense nature of training with Liverpool will leave him in good stead to
achieve that aim.
"At the beginning it has been a little bit tougher than the sessions in Spain, but we
know there is a little more running involved in this league," he told the club's official
website.
"However, we do a lot of work with the ball and I think in that respect the sessions
are similar to back in Spain. I'm working hard every day to try and earn my place on
the team sheet for the first game.
"From that moment on it's all about doing as well as I can and gaining in confidence
to keep my place in the side."
The 25-year-old also explained that fellow new arrival and compatriot Luis Alberto
has helped him settle on Merseyside, while full-back Jose Enrique has been
providing guidance on and off the pitch.
