LIVERPOOL: Liverpool striker Luis Suarez is confident he will adapt to the demands of English football after scoring on his debut against Stoke City.
The Uruguay forward arrived at Anfield on transfer deadline day from Ajax in a move worth nearly £23mil.
But while the injured Carroll could only sit and watch, Suarez scored Liverpool’s second goal in a 2-0 Premier League win over Stoke at Anfield on Wednesday.
It appeared the 24-year-old Suarez had carried on from where he left off at Ajax, having scored 111 goals in 159 matches for the Dutch giants.
“I was aware it would be quite tough to settle in and adapt with a quick, rapid style of football, but having seen what I saw against Stoke, let’s hope every game turns out like that,” Suarez said on Friday.
“It is a weight off your shoulders, scoring your first goal.
“You know everyone is keeping an eye on what you do so it does relax you and helps from the word go.
“But in terms of making the change from Dutch football, it is a case of doing what you have always done, concentrating on your own strengths rather than worrying about defenders.
“You just have to get on with it and play to your strengths.”
