Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has showed his pleasure at his side's 5-0 friendly win against Singapore this afternoon.
The Reds finished their tour of Asia with a easy victory over the Singapore side, with Andriy Voronin, Fernando Torres, Albert Riera and Kristian Nemeth all getting on the scoresheet.
20-year-old Nemeth was singled out for special praise by Benitez, who thinks the Hungary Under-21 international is a natural goalscorer.
Speaking to Liverpool's official website, Benitez said, "Nemeth is a great finisher. He has scored a lot of goals in the reserve team and today he showed why.
The Spaniard also stated that he thought it was an enjoyable game and that he was pleased with the outcome.
"It was a good game," he added.
"We worked hard and played at a high tempo, with a professional mentality.
"I think we are improving physically every single day.
"Some of the players returned late from international duty, so it was important for them to play for 30 minutes.
"You can see that some of them are a little bit tired, but the mentality and attitude was good, and it was a very good game."
The Reds will now travel back to Europe, where they will continue their pre-season campaign against Spanish Primera Division side Espanyol in a week's time.
