Luis philosophy serves him well
Luis Suarez has revealed how a philosophy adopted in the early stages of his footballing life is behind his seamless transition to the English game.
Four goals and five assists in 13 appearances have ensured Suarez's name is already echoing around stadiums wherever the Reds go.
But just as important in winning the fans over has been his willingness to chase every ball - and that, says the man himself, will never change,
"Early on in my football career I learned that you never give up," he told LFC Weekly. "You never give up on a ball as a lost cause, you fight for everything, you never drop your head for one minute and you keep trying until the last whistle.
"And if you know that skill-wise or technique-wise it's not your day and things aren't quite coming off for you, it just means that you try even harder, you close people down and you press and you get tackles in. I think it's important to have that spirit and that never-say-die attitude.
"It's good that from those early stages I have managed to create a good impression with the fans. I think that when you go to a new club everyone's watching you and waiting, thinking: 'He's come here for all this money, what sort of impression is he going to make?' That's the kind of feeling I got when I came to the club for the first time.
"But I just get on with my job and try and show what I can do and show that I want to play for the club and that I want to work hard. I always think that putting in hard work helps you win the fans over but it's nice that it has come to fruition."
The striker's January move to a new country presented challenges he has overcome several times already in his short career.
In 2006 Suarez left Nacional in his homeland to try and make a name for himself in European football.
FC Groningen in Holland was his destination, where his form caught the attention of Dutch giants Ajax. Within 12 months he was on the move once more - and again his transition proved smooth. Within two years he was wearing the captain's armband at the Amsterdam Arena.
Now Suarez is adapting to new surroundings for the third time.
"I think I have settled in well, which is very, very important" he said. "Settling into a new team was always the most important thing about coming here.
"I think I have done that and it's happened a lot quicker than I thought it would. It's hard when you come to a new team for the first time as there are lots of changes that you've got to adapt to but it's gone well - and from the very first game really. I am very, very happy here."
The full Suarez interview, in which he talks about being compared to Scousers, wearing the No.7 shirt and the Reds' chances next season, is in this week's LFC Weekly.
