Kuyt eyes an Italian job

Dirk Kuyt believes the experience of winning in the San Siro can help Liverpool pull off another Italian job when they face Fiorentina in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Rafael Benitez's men claimed a famous 1-0 victory against Inter Milan on their last trip to Italy back in 2008 and the Dutchman feels they can enjoy more success when they take on La Viola this time around.
 
"It was a great night in the San Siro," Kuyt told Liverpoolfc.tv. "I enjoyed every minute of it and hopefully we can do the same against Fiorentina.
 
"All the teams in our group are good but Italian teams are normally very strong in defence and it can be difficult to go there. Having said that, it will be the same with the trips to Lyon and Debrecen.
 
"It will be great if we can win in Florence and get six points from the first two games. It would give us more confidence ahead of the other group games."
 
The Reds got this season's Champions League campaign off to the perfect start courtesy of Kuyt's effort in the 1-0 home win over Debrecen.
 
It was a goal that saw the 29-year-old become the club's third highest European Cup goalscorer ever, a feat he hopes to better in the years ahead.
 
"It's great to be important to the club and score important goals in Europe," he said. "Hopefully there will be more in the future and I can go higher in the list.
 
"It's not the most important thing for me though, doing well for Liverpool is what matters most of all."
