Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet admits last summer's tour helped him understand the size of the club.
The Belgian goalkeeper sealed a switch from Sunderland in June 2013.
"A few days after I arrived we played in Asia, and that's when it dawned on me just how big the club was," the 26-year-old reflected with FIFA.com.
"We went to Australia, Thailand and Indonesia, and there was huge excitement wherever we went. The fame of Liverpool stretches far beyond Europe."
