Alisson's summer transfer to Liverpool was a big moment for the club and their supporters. Many have been impressed with the Brazilian shot-stopper's ability - aside from the minor hiccups - but Jürgen Klopp has been very impressed with one of thing.
According to ESPN, the 'keeper has caught the Liverpool boss' eye with how he has improved his understanding of the English language.
In fact, he has a better command of it than Naby Keïta and Fabinho, who both arrived at the club this summer alongside the Brazilian.
If you're playing together in a team-based sport, then you'll know how important it is to be able to effectively communicate with others.

You can imagine Alisson will no doubt agree with that, especially for him to distribute the ball to the Liverpool backline or during tight defending situations.
Alan Redmond, who is a former language tutor for Liverpool, doesn't overlook how important it is for players to learn a new language.
"It's hugely important," he said. "Ten times out of ten I find that the best players have an appetite to learn.
"I won't name names, but I can think of seven or eight occasions where players turned up and you could see they had no interest in learning the language.
"Usually in the first or second transfer window, they were out of there on loan or permanently."
It looks like Simon Mignolet might have his work cut out for him if he wants to oust Alisson as Liverpool's number one this season.
