Barcelona's new signing Luis Suarez has praised Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers for finding the perfect tactical system for him - during the two years they worked together at Anfield.
Rodgers introduced a slick, passing style, which Suarez benefited from and helped him hit 61 goals during his last two seasons in England.
Brendan Rodgers
The 27-year-old left Liverpool for Barcelona during the summer, but still remembers life at Anfield, as he says that he will always owe Rodgers a debt of gratitude.
"There was a moment during the first real, in-depth conversation that I had with Brendan Rodgers when I looked at him and it hit me: 'He's right,'" said Suarez, in an extract from his new autobiography published by British newspaper The Guardian on Tuesday.
"We had been talking for a little while, he was explaining the way that he wanted the team to play, and everything was falling into place. Everything he said made perfect sense. I was completely convinced."
Suarez made his el-Classico debut on Saturday when Barcelona were beaten 3-1 by rival side Real Madrid.
