Krisztian Nemeth hopes his two goals against Singapore will reignite his Liverpool career after an injury hit 2008-09.
The 20-year-old striker was the star player in our title-winning reserve team of 2007-08 - but last season was spent largely on the sidelines.
Now, after capping off two weeks away with the first team with a brace on Sunday, Nemeth hopes 2009-10 will prove his breakthrough season at Anfield.
"Last year I was injured - I hope this year will be better," Nemeth told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"I am young and I have been learning every day out here. The Singapore game was very good after two weeks' hard work. Every day we've had two training sessions - it's been really hard.
"But we showed in this game that we are getting fit. We enjoyed it.
"Dirk gave me two very good passes and I was happy to score. I'm happy, I've enjoyed myself and the fans in Asia have been unbelievable."
Hungarian youngsters Krisztian Nemeth and Peter Gulacsi today signed new deals at Anfield.
Striker Nemeth, 20, agreed a two-year extension to remain on Merseyside until 2012, while goalkeeper Gulacsi, 19, will stay another three years until 2013.
Both players have excelled for the reserves since arriving from MTK Hungaria in 2007.
Nemeth top scored during the second string's treble success of 2008-09.
Gulacsi, meanwhile, showed off his undoubted potential on loan at Hereford United last term.
Both were heavily involved in pre-season, with Nemeth hitting a brace in a 5-0 win over Singapore."
