Pre-Season Work Pleases Kuyt

Dirk Kuyt is happy with the way Liverpool's pre-season work is going and is looking forward to Saturday's game against a Malaysia XI.

The Reds beat Guangdong 4-3 in the opening clash of their pre-season tour of Asia on Wednesday since when Netherlands international Kuyt and his team-mates have been put through several intense training sessions.

Kuyt has been particularly impressed with the reception the Liverpool players have received since arriving in Malaysia, saying: "What we are seeing over here is just unbelievable.

"We went to Thailand and Singapore two years ago and that was incredible, and this is just the same.

"We're working really hard over here and doing what we need to do to be ready for the new season. It is hard because the conditions are difficult but we know how important it is.

"We had our first game the other night and, although we won, we know we made some mistakes so it's important we keep putting the effort in now and I'm sure we'll reap rewards when the season starts.

"All we can do is give our best, but we have the quality within the squad to win games and be successful. That's our aim."
