Even from training I realise English football is different," said Dossena in his first press conference yesterday.
"It's all about possession and the ball seems to move quicker. There is also a great determination among the players in training, but these are all qualities that are characteristic of me too. In this way, I feel half English, half Italian.
"It is an honour to be wearing such a prestigious shirt. It was great for me that Liverpool were so determined to have me in their squad. It is a very important shirt to wear and I will do my best. I have a great will to work hard and succeed and achieve great results.
"Of course I'll feel very strong emotions when I wear the shirt at Anfield for the first time but after the first few seconds these will be replaced by a focus on what I am doing.
"There are so many great players here and I hope to be playing beside them as soon as possible.
"I believe I will bring determination as my main strength. I have a will to succeed and achieve results. These are also characteristics I have seen in Liverpool as a team.
"I have been able to talk to my teammates but of course I have had to talk a little slower and maybe they have too, so they understand me better.
"I have been very impressed with the facilities and also with the very good atmosphere in the dressing room.
"The talks I have had with Benitez have mostly been about tactics. He has explained that he wants a four-man defence but that the most important thing is that the balance on the pitch is never broken. There must be balance between the left and right-backs."
