DBasia.news – Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker performed brilliantly when the Reds won 2-0 at Chelsea in the second week of the 2020-2021 Premier League. The Brazilian goalkeeper was able to save Jorginho’s penalty.
Liverpool were already 2-0 up with a pair of goals from Sadio Mane when the referee awarded a penalty for Chelsea in the 75th minute. But this moment could be a turning point for the host’s awakening.
Moreover, Jorginho’s reputation as a penalty taker is very convincing. He hasn’t missed out on eight occasions since wearing a Chelsea shirt.
Jorginho has a unique technique for executing penalties, namely jumping before kicking. This is one of the secrets to his success so far.
However, a series of classy facts did not make Alisson just give up. The former AS Roma goalkeeper was finally able to pinpoint the direction of Jorginho’s shot and brushed it off.
The success of saving Jorginho’s penalty made Alisson very satisfied. He does not hesitate to share tricks to do things that are difficult for other goalkeepers to do.
“The secret is to keep trying, knowing that you are in the right position, moving in the right direction, working hard and we do it together. Me, John (Achterberg), Jack (Robinson) and all the video team who helped us a lot,” Alisson said on the club’s official website.
“Also with the rebounds Millie (James Milner) and Virg (van Dijk) did really well. I think they showed confidence in me that I would save the penalty.”
Even so, Alisson was reluctant to exaggerate the moment of his rescue. For him the role of all players is very important in this victory.
The success of saving Jorginho’s penalty at least added to Alisson’s confidence when facing a similar situation. It’s interesting to see the 27-year-old goalkeeper’s response when he anticipates another reliable executor like Bruno Fernandes who has a similar technique.
