Alisson ready to “work hard” again for Liverpool this season

Alisson Becker says he’s “very happy to be back” after rejoining the rest of the Liverpool squad at their training camp in Evian.

The 26-year-old finished his first season as a Red with a Champions League winners medal and the Premier League Golden Glove.

And after recharging during a restful holiday, the Brazilian is ready to get back to work ahead of the 2019/20 season.

“I’m very happy to be back,” Alisson told Liverpoolfc.com. “I had nice holidays with the family, spending time with my family and friends, but I was missing the pitch, the lads, the staff, everyone – missing you guys, also!

“Now I am looking forward to coming back to play and starting to work again.

“[As a team] we are excited, but we have to keep our feet on the ground, just as we did last season. We want to try for everything this season, so we need to work.

“The level of the football is high and similar at every club, so we need to work hard to achieve the same things and achieve even more this season.”

Alisson added: “To win the Copa America, it’s a special title – as is the Champions League – so it was an important title for me, for the nation.

“For Brazil, it’s been a long time since we won it – the last time was 2007, if I am not mistaken – so it was important for us.

“To win two titles, two big titles, during the season was great for me. I hope this season – and I will work this season – to make it more.”

The Brazilian concluded: “My first goal is always to win with the team, to win for the club. Only after that comes the individual trophies. I am happy, but they were not just my trophies – they were the trophies for the other goalkeepers [here] who work really, really hard on the pitch with me, with John [Achterberg] and Jack [Robinson] and with [Claudio] Taffarel at the national team, and with my other teammates also.

“I feel the warmth from the people. Last season was special for us, for everyone – for me, for the fans, for my family and for the team – so I am looking forward to what we can do in this next season.

“We will work hard now to get ready quickly for the next games.”
