Clemence reveals how Alisson can become a legend at Liverpool

Liverpool legend Ray Clemence believes current Reds goalie Alisson Becker can become one of the “great ones” at Anfield.

The 26-year-old helped his national side Brazil beat Peru 3-1 in the Copa America final to claim his third Golden Glove award in a single season.

And Clemence thinks he could go on to become one of Liverpool’s best ever goalkeepers in the coming years.

“He’s proved this year he’s a great goalkeeper,” he told Sky Sports. “Truly great ones, the legends, continue to do that for the next five, 10 years.

“The word legend is thrown out without thinking, some of the players I was lucky to play with did it for six, seven, eight, 10 years – and that’s why they are so revered at Liverpool.

“But he’s had a great start. With foreign players, it’s partly down to how long they and their families want to stay at a club. Hopefully yes, but only they can make that call.”

Clemence added: “He deserves all the accolades because of what he did last year.

“I’ve not met him yet, hopefully I will at some stage, but he seems a very level-headed goalkeeper, not over-confident, but he’s got a good balance.

“He never seems to get flustered, the great goalkeepers always look in control of every situation. He has that ability to make saves other goalkeepers can’t make. But the great goalkeepers make the saves when the game’s tight, to keep them in it.”
