Former Liverpool star Sissoko happy in Serie A

Former Liverpool midfielder Mohamed Sissoko says he is happy in the Serie A and would not return to the Premier League.

The Juventus man had a successful stint with the Reds for two-and-a-half seasons but it now focused on his career in Italy.

Sissoko returned to England with the Old Lady to take on Chelsea in a Champions League earlier this week, and although the 24-year old enjoyed being back briefly, said he won't be back any time soon to play for an English club.

"Being back in England reminds me if all the good memories I have from my wonderful time with Liverpool during which I won titles," he told setant.com.

"At the moment I'm happy at Juve, I play every game and enjoy myself. My family is happy so for the moment, I'm happy at Juve."

Despite losing the match to Chelsea, Sissoko said they were still a chance in the two-legged tie.

"I think that despite this defeat we have proved, most of all in the second half, that we can be a threat to them in every aspect of the game," he added.

"Not having been able to score is a blow, but believe me, the second leg will be a massive game.

"Defending in midfield was difficult because Michael Ballack and Frank Lampard are players that attack a lot so you must be concentrated at all time.

"But I think that our performance was okay."
