"I am very happy here at Anfield," confirmed Skrtel.
"It was always my dream to play here in England and I'm with one of the biggest clubs in the world.
"I spoke to my friend in Russia and we talked about Zenit. I have great friends there but I never said I am not happy here, and I never said I didn't like the city.
"I didn't say the city is boring. That's just not true and I'd like to repeat I am very happy here.
"This is a special club and a city with a lot of history. I have been made to feel very welcome here at Liverpool.
"I enjoy life in Liverpool. I have been a few times to Jamie Carragher's Cafe Sports England restaurant and a few other places as well."
