Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel insists that he can't wait to return to Australia for the Reds' pre-season tour in the summer.
The Reds, who last visited Australia two years ago in 2013, will return to the country to play two matches in Adelaide and Brisbane against Adelaide United and Brisbane Roar as part of their preparations for the 2015/16 season.
The last time Liverpool went to Australia, they were greeted by 95,000 fans, who gathered to cheer the players.
And Skrtel, who was part of the travelling squad two years earlier as well, is equally excited about the prospect of returning to the country and meeting the fans in Australia.
"I believe it's going to be something similar to before", Skrtel told his club's official site.

The 30-year-old though insists that getting ready for the new season is going to be their priority in Australia.
"We're travelling down there to meet our fans and obviously to get ready for the season as well. I hope we can see our fans there and enjoy the atmosphere.
"There were a lot of fans in Melbourne, so I believe and hope it's going to be similar. I can't wait. The game we played in Melbourne will stay in our memories forever – I hope we can get something similar.
"It was a great experience for every single player. We travelled down there, it's far from here, and we found great support from the fans. We really enjoyed the tour.
"It was unbelievable. When you play away from England and you come on the pitch to see 95,000 people singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone', it's great. I was surprised and shocked, but I really enjoyed that."
The first match of the tour will be played against Brisbane Roar at Queensland's Suncorp Stadium on 17th July followed by the next match against Adelaide United at the Adelaide Oval three days later.
