He told the official website: “We knew that the [Liverpool] match was going to be very hard, as their attack is really fast and they score a lot of goals. We prepared for the match well, but this is a very new team and we still have a way to go to get to our best form.
We have very good expectations for the season, this team wants to play beautiful football and, with a bit more time, all the new signings are going to adapt.
The club made a big investment and now what we need to do is to work to make things go well.”
The Brazilian caught the eye during his time on the pitch and may be switched to the No 10 role when Bournemouth arrive on Saturday afternoon.
