The hymns of praise for Jürgen Klopp do not want to end. Now his goalkeeper Alisson joins in. But the Brazilian believes the secret of his success lies in Klopp’s special team leadership.
TGoalkeeper Alisson from Liverpool has praised the head coach Jürgen Klopp in the highest tones. “He has revolutionized the club in recent years,” said the 27-year-old Brazilian in an interview. The German coach of the new English football champions “not only changed the club, but also the city of Liverpool,” emphasized Alisson.
“He treats everyone the same, which gives him a lot of recognition,” said the keeper. “Nobody is special, every player is treated equally. From the one who plays more to the one who doesn’t play. We also have an easy-care squad. You won’t find anyone whose ego is greater than the collective goals, ”said Alisson. He believes that “also reflects this club and what brought Klopp here”.
Because of the corona virus pandemic, the Brazilian does not want to return to his home country during the season break. The association had advised him to avoid Brazil, because the South American country was going through a climax of the crisis. Even if he got the green light, he would not travel home “because it would pose a risk to my family”. He wanted to wait for the situation to relax before “visiting family and friends,” said Alisson.
The current Premier League season ends this Sunday. Liverpool has to compete in Newcastle (5 p.m., in the sports ticker of the WORLD). The new season 2020/21 starts on September 12th.
