Lazio midfielder Luis Alberto explains his mindset after the Spaniard left Liverpool back in 2016 without much of a game time.
Alberto didn’t experience much success at the Mersyside in his first season and hence he was sent out on loan to Malaga CF. The 30-year-old had a better time in Spain.
However, Liverpool still didn’t see him as a regular in the first-team and he was again sent to back Spain, but this time with Deportivo La Coruna. It was a successful loan spell for Alberto as he picked up regular game-time.

The Spaniard then moved out of England and joined Lazio in 2016. However he struggled to find his rhythm in his first campaign at Seria A.

Speaking with Marca, Luis Alberto spoke about his career and explained how tough were things initially in his career. He said :-
“ Had a very bad time the first five months, especially because I arrived on the last day. I came from Liverpool, from being practically training during the preseason just because I knew I had to go out. I didn’t come in fit, so it cost me a little more. Afterwards, Italy was very different from what I was used to after coming from Deportivo de La Coruna. It cost me everything, mentally especially.
“In the end I put myself in the hands of a person who has helped me above all to work on my head, because that was the only problem I had, and in a matter of months it started to go differently, especially in training. , and I finished the year playing the last games and starting in the Super Cup. And from there, everything was a bed of roses as they say.
“Believing a little more in myself and that I had the football I had since I was little, in realising that I had it and still had it. It was just a matter of working at it and having confidence in yourself.”
