Liverpool fans, get ready to celebrate! Alisson Becker is off to a flying start this season, boasting a 100% save percentage.
No other goalkeeper in the Premier League has come close to matching the Brazilian’s perfect record so far, with Arsenal’s David Raya at 90%, Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen at 86%, and Newcastle’s Nick Pope at 85%.
So, what’s Liverpool’s secret sauce? According to Alisson, it’s all about hard work and team effort under new boss Arne Slot.
Alisson reveals secret to a perfect start
Liverpool are yet to concede a goal this season, with three consecutive Premier League wins over Ipswich Town, Brentford, and Manchester United.
Alisson credits the shared responsibility among the team for their spotless defense. He praised new head coach Arne Slot for making things simple: “His ideas are not too complicated. The message is really clear, so for us players, it’s not too hard to follow.”
Alisson didn’t just stop at the tactics. He emphasized how the team’s hard work and hunger to win have been key. “Everybody with the same goal of winning the game, keeping the clean sheet, and doing whatever is necessary,” he added. His praise wasn’t just reserved for the defenders, either.
The Brazilian was quick to highlight the contribution of the forward players, especially Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz, for their defensive work.
“They [Salah and Diaz] are working so hard when they don’t have the ball, and I think that’s what’s making us win games,” Alisson said.
Liverpool’s intensity: The key to success
The Reds’ work rate was evident in their 3-0 victory over Manchester United, with every goal coming from turnovers in the opposition half.
While United’s poor performance helped, Liverpool’s relentless pressing and willingness to win the ball were the real stars of the show.
This high-intensity approach has long been a trademark of the team under former coach Jurgen Klopp, and it seems Arne Slot has only built on that foundation. Fans can rest assured that the high-pressing, all-out effort approach isn’t going anywhere.
With Alisson leading from the back and the entire team pulling their weight defensively, Liverpool’s unbeaten run looks set to continue. If this form holds, the Reds will be a force to be reckoned with this season.
Three appearances, three clean sheets, and seven saves – Alisson Becker is truly unbeatable!
Liverpool fans, buckle up. It’s going to be an exciting ride this season!
