The Premier League champions confirmed the signing of Jota from Wolverhampton Wanderers before the end of the summer transfer window in a deal worth around €44.7 million.
The Portugal international has made a bright start to life in Merseyside as Liverpool seek to defend their Premier League crown.
Jota became the first player in Liverpool history to score in his first four top-flight home matches and has netted nine goals in 14 games -only Mohamed Salah (10) has scored more for the Reds so far this season.
“Jurgen had an important role because the way he speaks with the players about our style and our identity is so clear and strong, he has the magic to make these things look simpler,” the German’s assistant, Lijnders, told the club’s official website.
“Diogo comes from a good tactical culture that makes it more easy, but we can never forget that it still takes time for the body to adapt.
“That’s why we are careful – he is adapting to a new style and new ideas. But first and foremost, if you come into a great team, things become easier most of the time.
“He has these natural abilities that were already very important to our game idea. This is what made us want him so much.
“When a new player comes, it’s always how the player adapts to the team, its mentality, and how the team understands the player.
“But you can see that he has fire in each vein when he plays, so the adaptation process has been very natural.”
