DEGEN: I'M SUITED TO PREMIER LEAGUE New signing Philipp Degen is relishing the challenge of nailing down a permanent slot in Rafa Benitez's back four. The Swiss star will arrive at Melwood on a free in July, but with the likes of Alvaro Arbeloa and Steve Finnan already vying for the right-back slot, he knows it won't be easy to establish himself as a first-team regular. Despite this, Degen believes he won't have any problems adapting to English football. "The move is a challenge for me," he said. "Liverpool are not just any club. They play every year for the title and the Champions League, so it is clear to me that it's not easy to get through to the team. "All the positions at Liverpool are occupied by two or three players already. "But my playing style suits the Premier League, where the football is played moving forward." Meanwhile, Degen has secured a place in the Swiss squad for the Euro 2008 finals next month despite missing much of the build up through injury. |

From what I've seen of him, he's a good player... Not top quality, but good enough cover for the positions at the back.. |

Also good news... Liverpool are Europe's number one - it's official http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-news/2008/05/28/liverpool-are-europe-s-number-one-it-s-official-100252-20984970/ May 28 2008 by Tony Barrett, Liverpool Echo LIVERPOOL will go into the forthcoming season as Europe's number one ranked team. The Reds top UEFA's official rankings thanks to their Champions League performances over the past five seasons. Having won the competition in 2005, been runners up to AC Milan in 2007 and made it through to the semi-finals this year, Rafa Benitez's team has accrued more ranking points than any other club in Europe. Liverpool top the rankings table with 104.284 points, giving them a one point lead over Italian giants AC Milan. Next on the list are Chelsea and Barcelona, with Arsenal in sixth and current Champions League holders Man United in seventh. Other British teams on the list include Newcastle in 19th, Rangers in 20th, Middlesbrough in 27th, Spurs in 31st, Bolton in 41st, Everton in 44th and Celtic in 52nd. Liverpool have moved up from third to first thanks to last season's run to the semi-finals, meaning they top UEFA's rankings for the first time since 1985. Their recent form in the Champions League also means that they will go into the qualifiers for next season's competition as number one seeds and will thereby avoid the other seeded teams when the draw for the qualifying rounds is made in July. Meanwhile, Krisztian Nemeth's rapid progress since joining Liverpool last summer has been recognised by Hungary who have called the teenage striker into their senior squad for Saturday's international with Croatia. The 19-year-old has quickly established himself as one of the stars of Gary Ablett's title-winning reserve side after moving to the club from MTK Hungaria in July 2007. A string of dazzling performances and several eye-catching goals in a debut season in which he finished up as top scorer have marked Nemeth out as a player for the future and Benitez believes he has the ability to challenge for a place in Liverpool's first team. The Reds boss said: "He is a player with game intelligence, with ability and someone who can score goals. He is a player we are keeping an eye on for the future. "He must keep working. I think he will be much better in time because he wants to learn." At the weekend, Nemeth fired Hungary's under-19 side to the European Championships with the only goal of the game against Portugal. |
