Liverpool striker Christian Benteke is determined to prove himself at Anfield.
Benteke's controversial injury-time penalty at Crystal Palace on Sunday earned Liverpool their second win in a week, and kept alive their slim hopes of a top-four place.
Former Aston Villa striker Benteke had reportedly rejected the move to China in January – but he insisted he had never actually wanted to quit Anfield.
“In my mind I was never thinking about a move. I didn't want to leave," the 25 year old said.
"I've still enough ambition and enough character to fight in difficult moments. I don't give up easily. I fight until the end.
“It's not the easiest of situations, but you have to be ready. It's in the most difficult situations that the real warriors, the tough men and determined guys stand-up.
“In a career you'll have top moments, also your difficult times. You have to be up for it. I have to take every chance, every minute the manager gives me.
"One minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, half an hour. Divock Origi had been working hard on Sunday. So it was a bit easier to come on.
“Of course it frustrates me, but that's football. On Sunday there were eight international players out of the 11.
"So I'm not competing against 'n'importe qui', nobodies. I just have to accept the competition."
