Milan Jovanovic has angrily denied reports that he is unsettled at Liverpool after just a few months in English football.
Reports last week claimed the 29-year-old Serbia international was already becoming disillusioned with a lack of starting opportunities at Anfield.
He agreed to join the Reds on a free transfer from Standard Liege before Rafael Benitez was replaced as manager by by Roy Hodgson.
However, Jovanovic has dismissed suggestions that he is already looking to leave Liverpool.
"I am angry. I am new here and all I'm trying to do is work and do what's best for the team," he said.
"It's not important that I am on the bench. I have signed a contract for three years and I want to stay for three years.
"I feel very good at Liverpool and better players than me sit on the bench whether it's here or anywhere else.
"I have to learn and work to be better – it's not a problem.
"I expected a challenge. I expected sometimes to be in the team and sometimes not.
"And also, I don't want to speak about myself. It is much more important to talk about the team."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
