Adam Bogdan enjoys working with Liverpool goalkeeping coach John Achterberg.

Bogdan joined the Reds in the summer from Bolton Wanderers.

“Well firstly, without his recommendation I wouldn't be at Liverpool I don't think," he told the Liverpool Echo.

“We started to work together in July, and it wasn't easy for me at first. The standards here are so high, and I had to get used to that. I found it really hard at first.

“John trains as if you are playing a match, he shoots at you and works you the way the first team players or the opposition would, so that you are used to those situations.

“At Liverpool, goalkeeper training is about moving your feet, standing up, cutting off angles. Because if you gamble and try to go early at this level, players are good enough to make you look silly.

“I was really glad that he stayed at the club when the changes were made. I know what he expects, I know what I have to do to keep improving, and I feel that he will help me to do that. He's an important figure for me and I enjoy working with him."
