Out-of-favour Liverpool midfielder Milan Jovanovic admits he regrets moving to England last summer.
Jovanovic joined Liverpool on a free transfer after seeing out his contract at Belgian side Stanard Liege.
The Serbian international has found it difficult to make an impact at Anfield and has hardly figured since Kenny Dalglish took over from Roy Hodgson in January.
The 29-year-old, who has been strongly linked with a move away from Liverpool in the summer, admits he is unhappy with his current situation.
Asked if he ever regretted his move to England, Jovanovic told Sportske."If I'm completly honest, I must say that I regularly think about this. If I would move to Italy or Germany I would be happier than in England - my life would be nicer.
"And also for my career it would be better to play in Serie A or the Bundesliga.
"In Belgium I was living in an area where there were so many people from Serbia and my life was different, more dynamic.
"Liverpool is such a different place. I'm here alone, without anybody. I'm just a very lonely stranger.
"In my months here I haven't met anybody from my country. If I wouldn't have my wife and my kids I just couldn't speak Serbian with anybody.
"But Liverpool is of course a club which you can't refuse."
Jovanovic was signed by ex-Reds boss Rafa Benitez, but the Spaniard left Liverpool before the attacker's arrival on Merseyside.
The Serbian admits Benitez's departure has affected his own situation feeling he would be playing more if the Spaniard was still in charge of Liverpool.
"My only regret is, that the coach, who brought me at Anfield, left the club even before my arrival," he said.
"If Rafa Benitez would have stayed in Liverpool I believe everything would be different for me.
"There were 15 other clubs which followed me but I chose Liverpool and make a mistake."
