Jurgen Klopp Reveals The Order He Gave To Alisson

Jurgen Klopp Reveals The Order He Gave To Alisson

It sounds like he'll fit right in.

The transfer of Alisson to Liverpool has got the Reds supporters in a frenzy. It's like their prayers have finally been answered, that final nail in the defensive wall they've been crying out for finally hammered in.

No great title-winning side is without a superb goalkeeper, and with Alisson, Liverpool have now surely got that, as much as rival supporters would hate to admit it.

Loris Karius was brilliant around the Christmas period. He stepped in for Simon Mignolet and was in brilliant form, up until the Champions League final, where his two blunders cost the Reds the game, as Real Madrid ran out 3-1 winners in Kiev and Liverpool left home trophy-less.

This cost Karius his place between the sticks for Liverpool. And so manager Jurgen Klopp has brought in Alisson to ensure the same mistakes don't happen again.

And Alisson, reportedly, is already raring to go. So much so that he has told to take a break by Klopp.

Last season, the 25-year-old reached the semifinals with AS Roma, and this summer he reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup with Brazil. It's been a long season for the goalie - but check out this tweet, it sums his attitude up brilliantly.

"He's desperate to play. He wanted to stay, but it made absolutely no sense," Klopp revealed.

"He's had a long year," Klopp added. "As Brazil No. 1, it was quite an intense year!

"The World Cup is not a tournament you only play a little bit, it was intense. So I sent him on holiday again."

Alisson will make his debut when Liverpool take on Italian outfit Napoli on August 4, and Reds supporters cannot wait to see him in action.
