What's it like being recognised?
It feels good when you are with your family or friends or girlfriend. People always say, 'When are you going to be in the first team?' I say, 'I don't know, I don't know - ask Rafa!' It has happened more since this pre-season.
Which stadium would you love to play in?
I'd like to play at Anfield in the Premier League or Champions League, but apart from that it's the Bernabeu. When I was a kid I supported Real Madrid. I think it's the best stadium in Spain and maybe one of the best in the world. I lived so far away in Malaga and Barcelona so I never went to games but I've been a few times now.
Which team's results do you look out for?
Malaga, because it's my home, and Real Madrid. I think they will probably win La Liga this season. They have signed most of the best players! Maybe they haven't signed defensive players but they will be okay!
Career high so far?
The best thing has been signing for Liverpool and since then the two pre-seasons I have spent with the first team - especially the one just gone. Playing with all the star names and going to Singapore and Bangkok with all those fanatical people. I knew it would be good but I didn't expect there to be so many fans.
Career low?
Thankfully I haven't had many. Maybe when I left home at 12 years old (to play for Barcelona). But since then I've never been injured and everything has got better, better, better. Touch wood.
Who is the funniest reserve player?
Vitor Flora. He is always joking, always talking, whether in the dressing room, the pitch, the hotel, the coach or during training. He is always trying to laugh with people and is a good person to have around.
Worst dresser?
Victor Palsson. He wears some not so good trainers. He thinks he looks perfect!
Best mate in the reserves?
Daniel Ayala. In the last few months we have become close friends. He is doing very well at the moment and I'm happy for him.
Area to improve on?
Everything! I am only 18 years old. The main things though are my strength and my work with the defenders. I also need to make easier passes.
Your main attributes?
Playing between the lines, trying to get the ball all the time, getting assists and tryng to score goals.
The kind of player fans like to watch…
No, the fans like to watch Steven Gerrard and Zinedine Zidane.
Who is the best player in your position ever?
If we're talking strikers, then it's Ronaldo - the old one. If it's attacking midfielders then I will say Zidane. I always like to see him play.
You are a forward but could you play anywhere else?
Maybe in midfield but not defensive. Last season I played a few games in midfield and I asked why. They said it was good for me because I could learn to defend. This is right.
What's the best thing about being a Liverpool player?
Just to come here and play for this club. To go out on the pitch and see the people - that's the best thing.
