​Liverpool fullback Tsimikas: I can get so much better...

Liverpool defender Kostas Tsimikas believes that he has a lot of room to grow.

The Greek left-back has not always gotten the chances he may have felt he merited under Jurgen Klopp at the Anfield club.

However, he has started eight matches this term, and believes that he is getting better as a player.

Asked during a pre-match press conference for Tuesday's clash with AC Milan about how he feels about his development, Tsimikas told reporters: "I think I've developed a lot as a player.

"The boss helps me a lot, even last season when I was injured and had COVID and it was a very tough moment for me. But during the time I tried a lot, I worked a lot to think [about] what the manager wants in the game.

"I saw Robbo a lot of times when he played [and] tried to do exactly the same. It takes time when you work with a gaffer like this [one] we have. I developed a lot but still have a lot to improve."

He added: "I hope [can become a regular in the team]. For me, it was a dream I had as a young kid to play in a big team.

"My dream came true – I came to Liverpool. I'm very happy to work with these players, with this gaffer. It's very important. For me, I think I have a lot of things to solve and I will try to do it in every single moment I get the chance."
