'I couldn't understand Gerrard & Carragher' - Voronin on Scouse accent and why he 'couldn't cope' at Liverpool

The Ukrainian has opened up on his difficult three-year stint at Anfield, admitting to struggles "with the weather and the rhythm of the games"

Andriy Voronin has opened up on why he "couldn't cope" at Liverpool, citing his failure to understand the Scouse accent in conversations with Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher.

Voronin joined Liverpool on a free transfer back in 2007, penning a four-year deal at Anfield, but he was sold just two seasons into that agreement after struggling to adapt to the demands of English football.

The former striker, who now serves as assistant manager for the Ukraine national team, has now admitted that he never really settled on Merseyside and had issues communicating with his team-mates.
