The Liverpool winger is determined to get to the final, but will be keeping in touch with the lads back home.

I'm supposed to be away for one month and that's what I intend it to be because we're going all the way to the final," he said.

"I'd rather not have to be going away at this point, but now I'm going, I'd rather not be back quickly because I want to go all the way".

"I'll be keeping in touch with Liverpool's results all the time I'm out there. Sky television is available and I'll have L'Equipe delivered to me with all the European results in.

"I'll be calling Emile Heskey all the time too."
