Fabinho: “I’ve got into the rhythm of the team”

Fabinho has conceded that he took time to adapt to life at Liverpool but has now discovered his rhythm playing under Jurgen Klopp.

The midfielder’s first appearance for the Reds came in September after his move from Monaco in May for £43.7million.

The No.3 seemed to struggle to handle the pace and intensity of the Premier League at first, but has since grown into his role and begun to show why Liverpool were so eager to acquire his services.

And now, following his first assist for the club in Sunday’s win over Manchester United, the Brazilian feels he’s well settled on Merseyside.

“The intensity is different from what I am used to I’ve got into the rhythm of the team and got used to the style of play,” said Fabinho, according to Sky Sports.

“The role that the manager asks of me is what I’m used to, so there were no problems in adapting in that respect.

“Obviously in the first games I didn’t have that automatic understanding with the rest of the team, so I had to work a bit harder to understand other players’ runs, but I can do this faster now.

“Nothing has surprised me. When I came here I already had an idea about how the Premier League would be, but the difference is the physically intense nature, the difficulty of every single game, whether you’re playing against a team who are at the top or the bottom.

“It’s always a big challenge. I don’t remember many games that we’ve won by a large margin, which demonstrates the competitiveness.

“It’s what I expected from following it on the TV, but playing in it, you really appreciate that it is the most competitive league in the world and the hardest championship to win.”
