A 30-year-old Liverpool player left Jurgen Klopp and the Reds in shock yesterday when Liverpool overpowered West Ham by 1-0.
A 30-year-old Liverpool player won the hearts at Anfield and left Jurgen in shock
Alisson Becker’s shutout over West Ham United at Anfield earned Jurgen Klopp two points, which the goalkeeper may be credited for. Darwin Nunez gave Liverpool a 1-0 lead before Joe Gomez conceded a penalty.
However, the Brazilian was just as good as Jarrod Bowen, who stepped up and made a respectable attempt. While the England international was unable to convert from the spot owing to an exceptional save from Alisson. Liverpool led 1-0 going into halftime and ultimately held on to secure the victory.
But Klopp doesn’t want people to minimize how good the save was. He expressed shock at how Alisson got there to the BBC thereafter. In fact, he was worried that by doing so, he might stray from his course. It’s not even an exaggeration that Alisson is an old testament. There is no secret why he is the first choice for a goalkeeper in his national team.
Alisson’s class
Alisson, who normally had a weird game, did a wonderful job with it. For once, his passing was off, and he made two bad passes that cost the Reds possession deep within their own half.
But in the end, it made no difference. The penalty save was the deciding factor in this situation, and as a result, Alisson has now significantly impacted back-to-back games.
Against Manchester City, his assist to Mohamed Salah proved to be the game-winner. Here, West Ham was stopped by a penalty save. A goalie who may be the finest in the world right now cannot be asked for more.
It’s nothing new. Alisson and Van Dijk were one of the best signings for Liverpool. And ever since they joined the Reds, they have shown excellence and character. Now that the Reds are in for a tough season, it surely boosts confidence for the locker room and the boys to see Alisson being consistent.
