Brendan Rodgers has implemented a “Spanish philosophy” at Liverpool FC, according to Suso.

The young midfielder explained how he enjoys training under Rodgers at Melwood, and likened his manager to the coaches he works with at international level.

“I look at him and I see him as similar to a Spanish coach,” Suso said. “All the work we do in training is with the ball.

“Every time he asks us to do something it’s with the ball. He wants us to play with the ball, never play a long ball and for me that’s really good because that’s my philosophy. When I go away with Spain it’s more or less the same.

“He has done really well since he came here. When he first came he had to change some things and improve the team, which takes a long time, but now we can see all the things he was working with in the past is working now.

“It’s a Spanish philosophy to play; you always want the ball, don’t lose it and give it to the opposition. It’s really good for me and the team.”

Suso, 20, is yet to feature in Liverpool’s first team this season, having returned to the club following a loan spell at La Liga side Almeria last term. He has made a total of 20 senior appearances for the Reds.
