Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, and Sergio Aguero were among the players that Liverpool custodian Alisson did not mention when he was asked to name the most difficult opponent he has faced in the Premier League this season.
The Brazilian goalkeeper, who joined Liverpool from Roma in 2018 and became the most expensive goalkeeper in the world, has unquestionably demonstrated that he is worthy of the £67 million price tag because of his performance.
With the assistance of Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot, Alisson has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. This accomplishment came after he assisted the Reds in ending their 30-year wait for a top-flight title in the year 2020.
As a matter of fact, Slot referred to his number one as the best custodian in the world on Wednesday night, following the remarkable nine saves that he made in order to prevent Paris Saint-Germain from advancing to the round of sixteen in the Champions League.
“I have had some very good players as a manager, but I have never had the best custodian in the world until now,” Slot said about Alisson, who kept his 22nd clean sheet in the Champions League.
In the present day, he demonstrated that he is the best in the world. It was probably a little bit more than we deserved as a team to walk away with a victory here.
Over the course of his six-year tenure with Liverpool, the Brazil international has faced some formidable adversaries at Anfield. However, the opponent that has proven to be the most challenging for him may come as a surprise to many.
During an interview with the Premier Football Association (PFA), Alisson provided an explanation as to why Michail Antonio, a striker for West Ham, is the most difficult opponent he has faced in the Premier League.
According to what he said in the year 2023, “I would say that one that is really annoying is Michail Antonio.” “That guy is way too powerful. Set-pieces are difficult to overcome for him. He never fails to keep me on my toes.
After some time had passed, Antonio dismissed the notion that Alisson was the best custodian in the history of the Premier League game.
On The Footballers Football Podcast, he stated, “I think it’s gone a bit too far as in best keeper ever in the Premier League.” He expressed his opinion on the matter.
Obviously, yes, he is a good custodian who can make plays, but Ederson is also a good custodian. In my opinion, it would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that this is the best ever in the Premier League. As well as Petr Cech and Schmeichel, Van Der Sar. It’s just that I don’t think he’s achieved enough just yet.
