Kabak makes telling admission on Liverpool career after man of the match display

Ozan Kabak says he still isn't fully up to speed with Liverpool life despite being voted as the club's man of the match in the Champions League win over RB Leipzig.

The 20-year-old centre-back is banking on improving with time during his stay at Anfield, hinting that he believes he will make his current loan move from Schalke permanent at the end of the season.

Kabak impressed at the heart of the Liverpool defence alongside his captain Jordan Henderson as the Reds secured a 2-0 victory over their Bundesliga opponents in Hungary courtesy of second half goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

The centre-back was the overwhelming winner of an official club Twitter poll to determine Liverpool's man of the match after the game, winning 56.3 per cent of the over 100,000 votes cast, and he was delighted with the victory.

"It was so special for me because this was my first clean sheet and my first win in this jersey," he told Liverpoolfc.com.

"I'm a new player, I'm a young player and there's a lot of stars here. I need a little time to adapt here and with time I will be better I think.

"I think we played very well and we gave everything on the pitch. We won all challenges in midfield and I think we deserved to win and I'm so happy.

"Leipzig are a really good team and second in the Bundesliga table but I think we controlled the game very well.

"First half we had a lot of good opportunities and second half we scored because of their mistakes – but we already had it under control.

"I think it was a really impressive game from us.

"The last three games we lost in the Premier League but we played very well I think. That's football – sometimes you can play good but lose.

"I hope if we continue to play like this tonight we will win our next Premier League game."
