"The way I want to play here is the Liverpool way," he told the official site. "The history and tradition of this club has been about offensive football, attacking football - but always with discipline.
"The game will be based around what Liverpool are about, which is control, dominating games with the ball, working very hard when you haven't got the ball, and keeping the game as simple as possible.
"Of course I'll bring in a certain philosophy which I'm attached to, but the principles of your game are based around the players.
"I suppose the Tiki-Taka football has come from Barcelona and that Spanish version. It probably came up with the players at Swansea, who referred to it a lot in our training and our work on having the ball and resting on the ball."
