Emre Can is pleased with his development at Liverpool this season
Brendan Rodgers has recently hailed the German under-21 international as the Reds "Rolls-Royce" after some strong performances this term.
But despite a harrowing day against Manchester United on Sunday, the 21-year-old's confidence has been boosted by his manager's comments.
"I feel very good at the moment. I feel the trust of the manager and I feel I'm doing a good job, that's why I'm playing – so I'm happy," he said.

"I'm proud that a manager of the status of Brendan Rodgers said something like that about me in this way but I know it's a long way to go and I need to keep giving my best to get there one day, I have to keep on working.
"Rolls-Royce footballer? I know what it means but we would not use that expression in Germany at all.
"I'd never heard it before. I obviously thought it's a big, luxurious car so I just associated positive things with it."
