The pair won many trophies together, including three successive Bundesliga titles. Speaking to the club's website, Alonso shed light on his conversation with the former Barcelona man. He said: "We talked a lot that summer because he was thinking about the option. I said, 'Thiago, you love football, you're in a great club, you're in Bayern and you've achieved great things, but Liverpool is pure football and you're going to enjoy it as much as you have done. If you feel it's the right moment for a new chapter, you won't get better places than Liverpool'." Lauding his former Spain team-mate, Alonso added: "You could see that he's a different player. He's a different talent because he's competitive but at the same time he has those magic Brazilian actions that are not that European. He's competitive but he can do different things. He was a great player at Bayern and he continues being consistent and being a great player at Liverpool." Thiago suffered a hamstring injury on the opening day of the Premier League season against Fulham. However, he is expected to feature in Liverpool's second UEFA Champions League Group A contest against Ajax at Anfield. Liverpool FC News@LivEchoLFC? Thiago's numbers are crazy!26425?
