New Southampton star Romain Perraud is in awe of the passion shown in English football.
The Saints had a taste of that intensity as they were defeated 3-1 by Everton at Goodison Park at the weekend, despite taking a 1-0 lead.
Perraud got his first taste of the league in the game, as he was in the starting lineup for the Saints.
He told the Daily Echo: "For me, it was my first game here. I feel good. I think it was a very emotional moment for me, for everybody because the fans returned in the stadium.
"It was very amazing. The game, we lost, but for a first game I think it was good.
"I've been here for six or seven weeks. I feel good.
"Here is the best championship in the world. I need to improve, I need to progress, but I feel good because the club is good. Everybody helped me to integrate collectively."
