Hoffenheim striker Ryan Babel has slammed the training methods at former club Liverpool.
He has enjoyed a stellar start to his new season in the Bundesliga and puts it down to better training at his new club.
"I think I've had really benefited from the move to the Bundesliga," he told Dutch paper De Telegraaf.
"We do more preparation work at Hoffenheim than I ever saw in England and we do longer training sessions. I've never felt so fit. "
"You need competition to get fit. I often sat on the bench and the schedule in England, with a game every three days, meant the training was only there to maintain us."
