The January arrival from Flamengo admits the Spanish of manager David Moyes, who had a spell with Real Sociedad, and teammate Jack Harrison has helped him settle.
On Moyes, he said of their first meeting: “He said: ‘Hola!’ It is no problem because we have Jack.
“No, to be fair, the manager speaks really slowly and clearly to me, his English is very clear, so I don’t have any problem. My English is good enough to follow when it is a team talk and it is directed to me or a group, but when it is two people chatting away that is more difficult.
“The first thing he said was he had a lot of faith in me and that he would put his trust in me. Immediately that really calmed me, relaxed me, gave me confidence as well. I am really happy here.
“I know what a big challenge it is playing here for Everton but I think the confidence from the manager, his coaching staff and my teammates means I can do my thing, do my own stuff and prove who I am as a player.”
On his first days in Liverpool, Alcaraz said: “I have been recognised and it is nice when people come up and say hi and ask for a photo, that is fine by me. It’s nice but I haven’t been out since I scored and the only reason I wear a cap or a hat is because of the cold!”
“I am a pretty chilled, laid-back sort of guy. I am not going out all the time, I might have a stroll out to the shopping centre, but I am happy by myself.
“You need to rest a lot to play football, so I am happy resting up and recuperating. I watch a bit of television and I go on my PlayStation.”
