Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has played down comparisons with a Rolls Royce.

Can was described as a Rolls Royce by Reds boss Brendan Rodgers earlier this year.

"We wouldn't use that expression in Germany, we wouldn't say something like that," Can told the Daily Mail. "I know a Rolls Royce is a big, luxurious car so I associated it with a positive comment, but I didn't know exactly what it meant. I hadn't heard the comparison before.

"Then again, I had a feeling it couldn't be so bad if the manager was saying something like that."
