Coates eager to make Anfield bow with Liverpool

Liverpool defender Sebastian Coates cannot wait to make his Anfield debut so he can experience the passion from the Reds supporters.

The 21-year old Uruguayan has made four appearances so far in his first Liverpool season but all have come away from Anfield and he is eager to experience what the famous Merseyside venue has to offer.

"I have only played away from home so far and it would be very nice to play at Anfield," Coates told LFC magazine.

"You can see the passion there is in the crowd. You can see it sitting on the bench but it would be much nicer to see it playing on the field.

"It hasn't really come as a surprise to me because I had already heard of the passion that Liverpool fans had but being told about something and then seeing it for yourself first hand are two different things.

"In other parts of the world, the fans of other clubs are also passionate about their teams but here I believe that the passion of the fans is special. It makes it very difficult for the teams that come to visit Anfield."
