Gulacsi's first-team goal
Peter Gulacsi is setting his long-term sights on becoming first-choice goalkeeper at Anfield after being selected for the club's tour of North America and Canada.
The Hungarian has yet to make a senior appearance for the Reds since joining the club, originally on loan, in 2007, but hopes to breakthrough under Brendan Rodgers.
"One day I would like to be the No.1 keeper for Liverpool," the 22-year-old told Liverpoolfc.com. "But we just have to see how the pre-season goes, what the boss thinks about me and make a decision about what would be the best for me.
"If it's a loan move again, then I will have to go on loan. If he thinks I can be part of his plans, then I will stay here. My long-term plan is that I would like to be Liverpool's No.1 keeper and whatever can help me to achieve that, I will do."
Speaking from the Reds' training camp in Boston, Gulacsi explained how he plans to make the most of the opportunity to impress Rodgers.
He said: "We are enjoying it. It's part of pre-season so the training is about getting fitness in and being ready for the season, but at the same time we are enjoying it. We have changed the environment, I think that has helped as well.
"It is a little bit hotter here than in the UK so obviously that helps to improve our fitness so I think we all benefit from this tour.
"It will be a good chance to show myself to the new staff and the manager. I hope I can impress him and I would like to be in his plans for the future. I hope these games will help me to do it."
Gulasci has gained experience of the English game through loan spells at Hereford United, Tranmere Rovers and, most recently, Hull City - and the 'keeper is confident they have improved his abilities.
"Not just goalkeeping wise but personally as well, it is a different situation going on loan and being a No.1 'keeper somewhere," the Hungary U21 international explained.
"But I think I have benefited from all of the loan moves already and if I have to do it again, I will do it again."
Like many of his teammates, Gulacsi has been impressed by the new training regimes Rodgers has introduced since pre-season training began earlier this month.
He revealed: "The sessions are a little bit different than previously but we are all enjoying it and I think we benefit from this kind of work. We are looking forward to the season and trying to be as fit as possible.
"They are different, we get involved much more with the team. The boss wants the 'keepers to be involved, playing football, and that's why we are getting involved in the training sessions.
"It suits me and I really enjoy it, and I think it's the same for the other goalkeepers as well because we are feeling much more part of the team and we'll see how it goes.
"We still get a lot of work with John Achterberg but at the same time we are involved with the team. I think it's a good balance and I feel the improvement already. I think it looks good and we can really do it and play the way the boss wants us to play."
