Huddersfield Town’s new German defender Chris Lowe says the extra physicality of the British game suits him.
The 27-year-old left back is looking forward to another hot-house atmosphere when Barnsley visit in the fourth round of Championship fixtures.
Lowe, signed from German second-tier side Kaiserslautern, has started all four of Town’s games so far.
And he’s relishing the busy schedule as well as the different demands of the English Football League.
“I’m enjoying the new challenge,” said Lowe, who played under Town head coach David Wagner in Borussia Dortmund’s
second team.
See David Wagner talking about 'strange' Michael Hefele:
“There are more games than in Germany, and you don’t hear the referee’s whistle as often.
“I have noticed a difference in the physicality of the game, especially in terms of the headers.
“I can be more physical, but opponents can also be more physical towards me.
“Over the four games played so far, I have started to adapt, and I think the game here suits me.”
After a trio of away games, at Shrewsbury Town in the League Cup, Newcastle United and Aston Villa, Lowe is looking forward to a home game.
“Other than the cup (Town lost 2-1) I think we can be happy so far,” he said.
“We have seven points from three games, which is good, but we know we have to build on this.
“Barnsley had a good win over QPR and will be tough opponents.
“We have to play our game from first minute to last if we are to get something.”
