Christian Benteke Liverpool

Benteke has turned to mind guru Michel Bruyninckx to help him adapt to the different style of play at Anfield, reports the Daily Mirror.

The coach helped the Belgian early in his career as well, and mentioned: “One day, he gave me a call and said, ‘Can I have some ­additional sessions.’

“When he was a boy in Belgium, he changed regularly from one club to another, because he only had one profile — as a physically strong player. I tried to encourage him then to expand his mind to see that he must not accept those labels and that he could continuously change his skills, and the way he learned to think has been enormously important to his career.

“I hear people say he is not a Liverpool type of player, but I tell you that he can adapt to any club.”
