Danny Wilson confidently declared ahead of Liverpool’s return clash against Sparta Prague: “I relish playing on the big stage!”
The teenager could be given the nod again by Kenny Dalglish tomorrow night for the tie against the Czechs.
The defender gave a solid display last week in the Generali Arena when the Reds played out a 0-0 draw in the Europa Cup.
And if selected again, Wilson insists he will relish the big European atmosphere at a sell-out Anfield.
The 19-year-old said: “I found the atmosphere in Prague fine.
“I’ve played in big games like that before - Steaua Bucharest and others.
“So nothing like that really phases me. I just enjoy it.”
If Dalglish’s men do progress, they will face either Lech Poznan from Poland or SC Braga from Portugal in the last 16 of the competition.
Wilson was satisfied with Liverpool’s discipline in Prague last week, but is sure a far more attack-minded Reds will be on show tomorrow.
He said: “Last Thursday, we were happy not to concede a goal, and get into the next match.
“These matches are won over two legs, not the first leg, so we had to make sure we were still in the tie.
“We’ve done that by getting the 0-0, so we’re just looking forward to opening up at Anfield.”
