Jurgen Klopp reveals how long it could require Fabinho to fully settle in

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that their new signing Fabinho may need up to six months to fully settle into his the life in Liverpool. The Brazilian midfielder joined the Reds from Monaco in a £42m transfer and clocked up less than a minute of competitive football. Klopp is expected to hand him his full debut in Wednesday’s EFL Cup tie against Chelsea. "It's not different between him and other players. It's really not complicated, he just needs to get used to it. It's about positioning, it's about reaction, about spaces defensively, closing them, offensively using them. "It's a football team with a specific way of playing. It needs time, and they were all used to other football teams. So you have natural runs in a team. Like, let me say, a very famous movement here was Phillip Coutinho. Half left, [cut] inside, nice shot! "For this one, you needed somebody to overlap and make it difficult to defend, so that one defender at least is busy. Things like that explain it. It's completely normal. There's no time to say, 'I give you that, or that', but it will happen. Because the game is so quick and intense, it needs to get natural. "It's not about changing these players, we want their football personality. They are here because of what they did. Three or five weeks sound like a long time in football, but to improve something you can give half a year, to really make the next step. That's it."
