PEPE REINA has dismissed suggestions that he is unhappy with life at Liverpool under new boss Brendan Rodgers.
The keeper’s Anfield future has been a source of constant speculation this season, especially as his form has dipped.
But Reina, 30, insists he wants to be a part of what he predicts will be a “great” Liverpool team under Rodgers.
The Spaniard said: “My relationship with the manager is very good. We have got a lot in common — tactics and the way we see football is similar.
“I am very happy with our manager. He’s making sure we are learning every day the way to win and that’s important.”
Reina, who has made nearly 400 appearances for the Reds since his £6million move from Villarreal six years ago, admits he has had to adapt his style since Rodgers arrived in June.
He added: “There’s no doubt I am more involved with my feet than before — but so is the team.
“The amount of passes in every game is higher compared to last season.
“It’s a different style and philosophy. I am happy about it. Given time and as long as the players follow him it will be good.
“It will become a great side — one which is difficult to beat.”
Reina has missed the Reds’ last two matches with a calf injury but hopes to return for the away clash with Aston Villa a week tomorrow.
There was more good news regarding striker Fabio Borini, 21, who last month had an operation on his dislocated shoulder.
Head of performance Glen Driscoll said: “It’s looking pretty positive that he could maybe make the end of the season.”
