Alisson – Liverpool's missing piece
(Baonghean.vn) - With the appearance of goalkeeper Alisson in the squad, The Kop is considered a strong candidate for the 2018/2019 Premier League championship.
After many efforts, Liverpool's board of directors finally successfully recruited the Brazilian goalkeeper. 65 million pounds is the amount that the Anfield team had to pay AS Roma to exchange for the signature of the goalkeeper born in 1992. Alisson is the most expensive goalkeeper in the world, up to the present time. Objectively speaking, Liverpool made a reasonable decision when recruiting Alisson.
His impressive performances for AS Roma last season and for Brazil at the 2018 World Cup were enough to confirm that Alisson is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. Not only Liverpool, but also Real Madrid, Chelsea… have expressed their admiration for the talent of the 26-year-old goalkeeper.

By bringing goalkeeper Alisson to Anfield, the purpose of Liverpool's board of directors and coach Klopp is nothing more than to help the team achieve the goal of winning the Premier League title this season. This is the missing piece of the port city team for many years.
In recent seasons, the “goalkeeper” position has always been the “Achilles heel” of The Kop. The Reds of Merseyside do not have a top-class goalkeeper with stable performance like Courtois (Chelsea), De Gea (Man Utd), Ederson (Man City) or Hugo Lloris (Tottenham)…
After Mignolet’s disappointment, Karius showed his inconsistency. Therefore, the refrain “attacking, defending” often harms the Anfield team. It is no coincidence that Liverpool has always been the team with the most goals conceded in the TOP 4 Premier League in the last 2 seasons.

Two elementary mistakes by goalkeeper Karius in the 2017/2018 Champions League final against Real Madrid, made Liverpool's board of directors and coach Klopp decide to recruit goalkeeper Alisson at all costs. From now on, The Kop fans will be somewhat assured about the position of "goalkeeper" of the home team.
Speaking to the press after the contract with goalkeeper Alisson was completed, coach Klopp said: "We have everything we need for next season, so I don't think we will do anything in the transfer market anymore. I am quite sure about this."
It is not known whether Alisson will help Liverpool win the Premier League 2018/2019 championship, but with his presence, The Kop's goal will be much more solid. At least compared to Mignolet and Karius./.
