Liverpool goalkeeper has warned his inclination to take risks with the ball at his feet could lead to make mistakes at some point.
Goal report that the £67m summer signing from Roma acknowledges that playing out from the back has its dangers but the team work hard in training to minimise them.
The Brazilian was bought in to solve the club’s goalkeeping crisis after Loris Karius’ infamous display against Real Madrid in the Champions League final.
He has done nothing but impress since moving to Merseyside, keeping three clean sheets in his three Premier League outings.
Boss Jurgen Klopp encourages his team to play out from the back, meaning Alisson has found himself with the ball at his feet on a number of occasions.
The stopper hasn’t seemed fazed by the style, as shown when he effortlessly flicked the ball over the onrushing Anthony Knockaert on Saturday.
The 25-year-old told Liverpool’s club website:
I try my best to help the team in the build-up. If sometimes there is a situation where there is dribbling, I do it carefully. It could be too risky, but it’s part of the game, we are a team that plays from the back with the ball on the ground.
That’s part of the team’s characteristics. Mistakes may happen, but we work hard during the week to do everything correctly during the matches.
Alisson will be hoping to maintain his and Liverpool’s perfect start to the season when they travel to Leicester City on Saturday.
