Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is delighted with the first week of preseason from new signings Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
The pair have quickly impressed teammates and coaching staff since their arrivals.
Klopp told liverpoolfc.com: "Two very good players. I was immediately thinking about nicknames and I thought it would be great nickname for Alexis... Gary [McAllister]! He plays pretty good football, obviously, the same as Dom.
"I was pretty clear in the moment we signed them, the public reception was pretty good, internally it was outstanding, the boys know about football so they were immediately like, 'Oh my God...' so that's really good. Now they are here and didn't take long, let me say, to impress on the pitch as well, so that's good. How I said, some changes, Trent cut his hair - [back to] the most successful haircut in his career, so he sacrificed the cool look for success, I like that!"
He added, "The most important stuff, which doesn't happen nowadays anymore, and that's a player coming back five kilos more or something like that. The boys are really professional. It is a little misunderstanding, and maybe even the players misunderstand, that it is not important that you are at the fittest point on the first day of the pre-season. The players need a rest, they don't have a lot.
"We will - and we can - help them to be in the best possible shape physically and in all other parts as well at the end of the pre-season, or a little bit into the season. The boys came proper, really - they did what they had to do. Yes, a couple did a bit more, but that's fine as well."
