Takumi Minamino offers insight into life at Melwood and reveals what Liverpool refuse to talk about

Liverpool new boy Takumi Minamino has offered a unique glimpse into life at Melwood.

Minamino, who has made three appearances since his arrival from RB Salzburg earlier this month, has opened up on the resilience of Jurgen Klopp's outfit.

The 25-year-old also revealed how he is settling in to life on Merseyside and the one thing no Liverpool player is talking about.

"Liverpool is a top-class team," Minamino told the club's official website. "Even in training I can see the very high quality and in the games we don’t feel like losing.

"But the resilience of the team, I am feeling that much stronger than before I joined.

"I’m getting used to the city and I’m getting used to the team as well. I have been enjoying this moment and I would love to keep doing so in the future."

"It is characteristic that English football has got very high intensity and is very physically tough, but that is what I expected and I have to adapt to it as quickly as possible and then I have to start playing in this style."

Reflecting on his Premier League debut against Wolves last week, Minamino admitted he was not satisfied with his overall performance in the 2-1 win.

Asked about his self-assessment, he told: "Yes, because I am an attacking player I have to show my attitude that I always go for shots and goals, and this is what I meant. I should have done that."

Minamino also revealed the focus inside the dressing room and how his team-mates are not thinking about winning the league.

"We are all focused 100 per cent on the next match and we always prepare 100 per cent for getting the next three points," he added.

"I don’t think any player is talking about winning the league yet."

The Japanese international will be hoping to make his first start in the Premier League as Southampton visit Anfield on Sunday.
