Liverpool full-back Fabio Aurelio is ready to fight for his place in the side following the signing of Andrea Dossena.
Dossena, an Italian international, arrived from Udinese this summer, and along with hot prospect Emiliano Insua, will be challenging Aurelio for the sole left-back slot, something the Brazilian is looking forward to.
"It's good to be back training for the pre-season and I'm hoping to work hard and get as fit as possible to improve my fitness," he told the club's official website.
"At a club like Liverpool there is always massive competition to get into the starting XI because of the players we have for each position, but that is good and it can only improve the team.
"We are trying to fight for every title and we have more possibilities this season."
Aurelio also had kind words for compatriot Diego Cavalieri, another new signing - the third Red Brazilian along with Lucas - and Aurelio believes his club have snapped up the second best goalkeeper in Brazil.
"I know last season he was the second best goalkeeper in Brazil," he continued. "He's a good goalkeeper so he's now got a good opportunity to show what he can do.
"We are trying to help not only Diego but Andrea and Philipp [Degen, another new signing] settle in as well. We hope they can feel good in the dressing room and we all try our best to help everyone as best we can."
