Former Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has spoken to the latest edition of Fenerbahce’s official club magazine and opened up about his Liverpool departure and new manager Dick Advocaat.
The Slovakian defender also spoke about Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp, and his comments were really positive: “Eight and a half years, that’s a lot. I wanted to change and also want a new challenge. I am thankful to all the managers I worked with at Liverpool. Klopp is a wonderful person but I feel if I stayed I couldn’t have played like before.”
Skrtel also said: “I’m a Liverpool fan from now on. It’d be great if we won two finals last year but these things happen. I hope they’ll win something in the future.”
Martin Skrtel said his new manager Dick Advocaat is a no-stranger to him because the pair had worked at Zenit before: “He’s the one who can make us great again. I’m really looking forward to it.”
Slovakian played over 300 games for Liverpool before joining Fenerbahçe for a reported £5.5 million this summer.
