Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits this week has been the first time his staff have been able to sit down and talk in detail with Luis Diaz.
Klopp explained that he has not spoken too much with the new arrival about how to adapt, tactically, and said there is plenty of time for the 25-year-old to become fully adjusted at Anfield.
"We had a chance to talk to him a lot," Klopp said of Diaz. "Not myself, but Vitor Matos and Pep Lijnders, and they both obviously [speak] Portuguese.
"But we usually do it like that if the player's natural way to play is the same way we do, we only give a few [pieces of] information.
"For us, it's the way he has to defend, that is really important, because the way we defend is definitely different to Porto.
"But his offensive movements are really natural like they are now. That means he can play on the wing.
"We had some problems in the first half (against Norwich) definitely because we were not brilliant and there were not a lot of options to play.
"It was a completely new front three. Mo obviously plays [on the right] for a long time, but even with Sadio up front, that was a long time ago and a new player on the left wing. That makes it more difficult for patterns to be obvious.
"We knew that before the game so we didn't want to make it worse by giving him a playbook. You have to let them be as sure about themselves as possible.
"So we didn't give him anything in Colombia. We wanted to wait until he was here. We wanted the player because we saw him playing and thought it'd be easy to fit him in."
Klopp added: "The things he is doing, he is obviously a really talented player with an incredible work rate on top of that.
"Did we speak about counter-pressing? Yes, but I am pretty sure he knows that anyway. But you can really see he is in there full throttle.
"So when you watch our team have a good game a couple of times and you want to be part of it, then that is the obvious thing.
"So if you don't [counter-press] then you will hear the coach pretty heavily all the time. You don't want to have that, so you just do it.
"I haven't seen the stats [about winning the ball back] but I know he has done really well. Like I said, that is natural and we saw that.
"But there will be moments when we talk longer, in more detail, but that is not now because we want him like he is and not directly converting him into what we think he can be in the future.
"There is time for that. We're really happy with what he is delivering now and from there we will go."
