Maxi Rodriguez says he's surprised himself with how quickly he has settled at Liverpool.

The former Atletico Madrid winger arrived at Anfield in January.

"I'm settling into life here very well," the 29-year-old told LFC Weekly. "It has been a lot easier than I thought. Argentina and Spain are very similar - the language, the lifestyle - and for my whole life it is all I have known.

"I have spent a lot of time walking round the city getting lost. What I realised quite quickly is that Liverpool is quite similar to my home town Rosario.

"There is a lot of focus in Argentina on Buenos Aires because it is the capital, like there is with London in England. But like Liverpool, Rosario is a big city - an important football city - with two clubs and it is a place which has strong working class roots. That has made it easier for me to settle."
