In the preseason tour, Thiago Alcantara is working as both a teacher and a student.

Given that they both speak Spanish, the Liverpool No. 6 has played a key part in assisting Darwin Nunez in adjusting to the team since his arrival in the summer.

Thiago, one of the Reds team’s more seasoned players, has been happy to share any advice that will help Nunez adjust to his new surroundings after scoring four goals in Thursday’s 5-0 preseason victory at RB Leipzig.

“You become familiar with a new player joining our team. At the on-going training camp in Austria, Thiago said to Liverpoolfc.com, “You always want that he is happy in the team, pleased with us, and happy and confidence with himself.

“I believe he submitted this initial adaption with these four goals, and it’s significant to both him and us.

“At one point in our lives, we were the team’s young player, and someone gave us assistance. So you assist the new young gamers by using your experience.

“Due to the language barrier, I try to assist him as much as I can and include him in our meetings and team.”

However, as he gears up for his third season at Anfield, Thiago, 31, continues to be enthusiastically receptive to criticism of his own game and possibilities to improve it.

The midfielder joked before the close of the previous campaign that Jürgen Klopp had taught him how to run, and he anticipates further development in 2022–23.

The impact the boss has had on him, he said, “is more than just running itself, it’s more about the perfect running – high intensity and also the right sprints in the right moments.”

“You get better at that, and you get better for your group. A player develops with that.

“These two years spent learning from the management were a significant experience for me, but this season will be even better.

Being present from the start was nice. We traveled extensively around Asia, stopping in Bangkok and Singapore along the way.

“We have now entered the crucial phase of the preseason. We begin to run and play more vigorously as we wish. Good news thus far,

It’s usually a good idea to get as much preparation done as you can. Not just personally, but also in relation to our thoughts on football.

however, his goals for the upcoming campaign aren’t likely to change.
