Le Tallec ready for Reds challenge

Last updated : 11 March 2003 By Kevin Smith
The young midfielder, signed from Le Havre last season with his teammate Florent Sinama Pongolle but loaned back out to the French club, is ready for the challenge ahead.

"I know that with guys like El-Hadji Diouf, Michael Owen and Emile Heskey around it's going to be tough for me. I am more of a creator, so maybe there is some hope I will play.

"Whatever happens I am sure it will be a positive experience and I feel like there are some exciting times ahead.

"To play in England, where the atmosphere at the matches is incredible is a dream come true."
