Fernando Torres insists it is "easy" to play well alongside Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard.
The Spanish striker, with 28 goals already this season, is aiming his shooting boots at Arsenal on Wednesday night in the Champions League quarter-final, first leg at the Emirates.
Ahead of the clash with the Gunners, Torres said: "I am pleased with the way I have settled in English football, it is important that I have good team-mates and a manager who can help me. Stevie has been a great help, he is one of the best players in the world and my understanding with him is easy."
He added: "It has been a new season, new team-mates, and it is important that everyone has been able to help me.
"Everyone wants to play alongside the best players and I am doing that with Stevie and scoring a lot of goals.
"My target is to continue doing that, I do not have a number to aim at but I want to do my best for the team to win trophies.
"It is the job of strikers to score goals, and I am doing my job. It is my first season, though, and I am surprised with how well it has gone.
"I need to be playing in the best competition so it is important that I can continue to play in the Champions League. That is my aim after this Arsenal tie.
"I have enjoyed winning in the San Siro, and I will look forward to playing at the Emirates. I am improving, but the most important thing for me is that I win trophies and get to the final.
"I have scored a lot of goals this season but I am more motivated by winning trophies for the team. My aim is for the team to have success, personal goals are secondary to team success."
