New Milton Keynes Dons defender Michel Pensee-Bilong says he expects to be at his best within the next couple of weeks.
The Cameroon international, who joined the League One side from Japan side Sanfrecce Hiroshima, made his debut in a 1-0 defeat at Blackpool on Saturday and says it was a bit of a culture shock.
"It was my first game in English football and it`s certainly very different to football in Asia," he told the club`s official website. "It`s a difficult standard, and a very fast and physical game. But I feel I have the ability to do well here and it`s up to me to learn about my new team-mates
and the way of football here. I hope it won`t take long and in the next couple of weeks I am 100 per cent."
Pensee-Bilong, who has also played for Russian side Anji, also said he was shocked at how cold it had been on his debut.
"I would say that Blackpool is the coldest place I have played. The Japanese league starts in November and finishes in March and it`s the first time I`ve played in cold weather like that. But it wasn`t too bad and I`m looking forward to the next game."
"I didn`t have much of a chance to show all my qualities, but hopefully in the next few weeks I can show people what I`m capable of."
