Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier has revealed how Milan Baros conquered an uncertain Anfield start to become a Premiership revelation.
He said: "Milan's attitude was right from when he arrived, he just needed time.
"He was a young boy who had come from a small club in Czechoslovakia, with all respect to Banik Ostrava, to a big club and a big environment in Liverpool.
"It is something special and takes some getting used to. The boy had a good "pre pre-season" if you could call it that."
