Brendan Rodgers: 'Mario Balotelli will adapt to Liverpool system'

Brendan Rodgers says that new signing Mario Balotelli will be able to adapt to the Liverpool way of playing ahead of his highly-anticipated debut against Spurs.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes that Mario Balotelli will have no problems adjusting to the Reds' system.

The Italian striker will make his debut for the Anfield side in the trip to Tottenham Hotspur today, and he plays alongside new strike partner Daniel Sturridge.

Speaking to Sky Sports News ahead of the game, Rodgers thinks that his new man will be able to quickly adapt to his side's way of playing.

"He's settled in well, worked very hard, he's not at the top of his fitness levels, but let's see how he goes in the game," said the Liverpool manager.

"The set-up is no different to what we did last season, you find a way to get your best players in the team. The style will be the same, but the systems can change.

"He's flexible too, and I think with him and Raheem Sterling and young Adam Lallana, they can work right across the front. We came here last season and played very well, so we'll try and replicate that."
