DBasia.news – Liverpool became champion of the Premier League thanks to a solid wall. Alisson Becker reveals the secret of his solid back line. The Brazilian goalkeeper is very comfortable standing between the bars because the barricade in front of him guarantees safety.
In two consecutive seasons, Liverpool have established themselves as the club with the best defensive line in the Premier League. The Reds are the club who have conceded the least number of goals in one season.
In the 2018-2019 season, Liverpool’s goal conceded only 22 times. This number is less than Manchester City who came out as champions.
One season ago, Liverpool’s number of concedes has indeed increased to 33 when winning the title. However 19 other clubs have suffered more goals than them.
Coincidence or not, the improvement in Liverpool’s defense coincided with the arrival of Alisson Becker. The Brazilian goalkeeper was indeed brought off from AS Roma in the summer of 2018 with a tag of £ 66 million.
Alisson refuses to be considered a key figure in Liverpool’s solid defense. He considered this incision was the cooperation of all players.
“I don’t like to shout at anyone and I don’t like people yelling at me. When you make a mistake you know you made a mistake,” Alisson told the Daily Mail.
“We talk to each other about what makes us all more comfortable with our movements. But I don’t believe that when you admit or make a mistake, you have to point the finger at someone.”
“I believe in a different way. You speak up better and find a solution,” he added.
In the opening match of the 2020-2021 Premier League. Liverpool’s defense began to look less solid. Alisson was able to break down three times by Leeds United, who had the status of the promotion team.
However, that did not panic for the Liverpool defense, including Alisson. Evidently, they were able to get up by scoring a clean sheet in the second match at home to Chelsea.
“We don’t need to say that the match against Leeds is a warning. On the day of the match, if things don’t happen as we want, we have to analyze them,” Alisson explained.
The solid defense guarded by Alisson is certainly very important for Liverpool. This plays an important role in the competition for the title.
