Alisson on his price-tag and the intensity of the Premier League

Alisson Becker has revealed that he feels there is an expectation on him to become the “perfect” goalkeeper at Liverpool.

The Brazil international joined the Reds for £67million from Roma in the summer, and has already made a solid start to his Anfield career, conceding just five Premier League goals.

But with most of the season still to play, Alisson knows there is much more to come from him.

“I came here for a high price and some people expect to me to be perfect – it is not easy but I’m trying,” the 26-year-old said, as quoted by Sky Sports.

“It is really early to say if I’m satisfied with how I’m playing but I’m working to be perfect, I’m working to be better.

“I am really, really happy with my move to the Premier League. I’m working really hard to help Liverpool to achieve their goals and also for the Brazil national team.

“The Premier League has great intensity, you have to be really focused all the time.

“One thing that is important here is the concentration and focus. They are asking me to be really mentally strong.

“My team have a really great defence so it is not often the ball comes near my net.

“But I have one or two opportunities to show my quality, so I need to be focused all the time.”

Alisson’s Brazil play Uruguay on Friday, followed by a match against Cameroon on Tuesday.
