The English Premier League is widely considered to be the fastest and most physical football league in the world and Liverpool youngster David Ngog will be the first to admit it. The 20-year-old striker has been forced to adapt to the physicality of the English game as he continues to become a more frequent inclusion in the first-team, and he believes he has become a stronger person because of it.

"You have to be strong and really battle to get possession and keep it until your team-mates can get forward in support. It wasn’t something I found easy at first. Now I think I am getting stronger in those situations,” Ngog said on the club’s official website. “The more experience you have of playing like that the more confident you become. I think I’m becoming a better player and know I need to do that. If I can I will be happy.”

Ngog has scored seven goals this season, more than double of his output last season, signs that he is adapting well to the rigours of the English game.
