Liverpool star Fabinho says new signing Thiago Alcantara can change the attitude of the Reds midfield this season. The Spanish international has been an instant hit since his recent move from Bayern Munich. The Brazilian has been part of a Reds midfield praised for its industry rather than its artistry. But he says Thiago will change that. Fabinho told the Liverpool Echo: “It’s true [that] competition for places is high in midfield. Ever since I arrived here, the midfield is where the manager rotates the most in games. “Maybe it’s because it is where the players have to put in the most effort, run the most kilometres during games. Our squad is very strong but we know that the signing of quality players is a plus for this team. Thiago’s arrival will be really positive and he’s a player coming from an exceptional season at Bayern Munich last year. “He’s an experienced player who inspires confidence given everything he has achieved. He can also add something to our team, something we didn’t have before. The quality of his passing is exceptional. He’s someone that receives the ball really well between the lines. So I think his arrival, both his and Diogo Jota’s, are going to be really important for us.”
