Aquilani eager to play alongside Stevie G
Liverpool new boy Alberto Aquilani insists he does not want to be compared to Xabi Alonso at Anfield.
Aquilani has been brought in from Roma to help fill the void left by Alonso's departure to Real Madrid.
The Italian international, who will miss the start of the season as he recovers from ankle surgery, says he is not a direct replacement for Alonso as he has a different style of play than the Spaniard.
"He was a very important player at this club," said Aquilani as he was unveiled at Anfield.
"But I am not his natural substitute as I do not have the same characteristics as him.
"I have a different style in that I like to move around and not stay in the same place."
Aquilani is not expected to make his debut for Liverpool until October because of his injury, but the midfielder is confident of making a speedy return as the Reds medical staff have got to the root of the injury.
"At Roma my worries were linked with injury. But when I came to Liverpool, the doctor highlighted exactly the problem I have," added Aquilani.
"We now have a very good picture and I hope it will be solved so that I will not be absent again.
"It is a shame I cannot play straight away but it is important to get better, then play well. I am focusing on that."
There have been fears that Aquilani could struggle to cope with the physical demands of the English game, but the 26-year-old is sure he will adapt to the rigors of the Premier League.
"I cannot wait to be involved as it is a different type of league to the one in Italy and a difficult level to play in. I am very excited about what lies ahead," noted Aquilani.
"This is a very important occasion for me as I am joining a big club with a rich history.
"While this is one of the best leagues in the world, Liverpool have to be one of the main candidates for winning the title."
Aquilani is excited about the prospect of playing alongside Reds skipper Steven Gerrardwho he describes as the best midfielder in the world.
"Even before coming to Liverpool, I thought Steven Gerrard was the strongest midfielder in the world," said Aquilani.
"I will be very proud to play alongside him and hope I can learn from his game.
"I am looking forward to playing in the same team with players of that kind.
"Liverpool have had good players for a number of years and I have always liked their system of play."
