Jurgen Klopp has praised summer signing Alisson for his performance against Brighton, after his third clean sheet in as many games put him amongst the likes of Bruce Grobbelaar, Jose Reina and Simon Mignolet in keeping clean sheets in the first three league matches of a season for the Reds, the Daily Mail report.
The Brazilian caught the eye with his fancy footwork in the second half, as well as a hugely important save from a Pascal Gross effort late on to ensure Liverpool’s 100% record remained intact.
The Reds currently sit top of the Premier League, thanks to Alisson’s efforts in between the sticks and Mohammed Salah’s 23rd-minute strike securing a 1-0 victory over the Seagulls at Anfield.
The £65 million summer signing showed great composure in lifting the ball over Anthony Knockaert, after Virgil van Dijk’s back pass fell short.
Talking after the win, Klopp gave his thoughts on that chip by the former Roma man and the Brazilian’s all round performance.
That’s not too cool for a manager. If it works then it’s cool.
Alisson is obviously a goalkeeper who can play football, which is good. He’s confident enough to do it. He didn’t do it for showing off, he did it to sort the situation.
He has a nice level of confidence, so he uses that. I like the save from the header more than the chip, but the chip was the right thing to do in that situation.
