Adrian has lifted the lid on his role in helping Thiago Alcantara settle into Liverpool and believes his team has secured a “world class player”.

He may only have signed for the club last week, but Thiago is already causing a sensation at the club.

In his first 45 minutes as a Liverpool player, the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich star broke a Premier League pass record in the Reds’ 2-0 win at Chelsea.

The Spain midfielder was announced as a player for the Reds on Friday afternoon, after completing a £ 25 million trade from Bayern Munich.

Thiago replaced Jordan Henderson for the second half, the midfielder managed to control the game and even recorded quite remarkable statistics.

Thiago completed 75 passes in 45 minutes, more than any of the Chelsea players did in the full 90 minutes.

It is also the most passes completed by any player with a maximum of 45 minutes in the Premier League since the records began in the 2003/04 campaign.

“Thiago is a world-class player. I knew him before when we went to the national team and because we have some friends among us ”, replied the Spanish goalkeeper when asked about the signing.
