Alisson Becker insists he is hungrier than ever to achieve further success with Liverpool after reaching the milestone of 300 appearances for the club.
The Brazilian, who joined the Reds from AS Roma in 2018, became just the seventh goalkeeper in the club’s history to reach a triple century of outings when he started in the Premier League opener against AFC Bournemouth last week.
During his time at Anfield, Alisson has lifted seven major honours, cementing his status as one of Liverpool’s most influential signings of the modern era.
Now, the 32-year-old has set his sights on adding to that collection, with his latest ambition being to build on the Premier League title secured during Arne Slot’s first season in charge.
Alisson said: “Being a while at Liverpool allowed me to have two different managers.
“One that made history here, changed even the mentality from the way supporters were seeing the game and also the players who are here at the moment.
“Jürgen [Klopp] was great at that and I’m so glad that I had the opportunity to work together with him.
“But then after he left came Arne Slot and when a top manager leaves, you think, ‘Oh, [with] the new manager we’re going to struggle.’ But that was the opposite with Arne.
“I think he’s a really smart manager, so had similar ideas as Jürgen but a different style of managing. A really smart guy, intelligent, knows the game and I think he’s able to take out the best qualities of the players as well.
“It was really important for me that we started in a successful way in the first season under the control of a new manager and also seeing that he has the standards for Liverpool FC, because this is what we want here.
“We want to keep fighting for titles, we want to keep playing at a really good level, really high level – and this is what Arne can make us do during this time. It’s really important for me.”
On Liverpool’s game against Newcastle on Monday, the Brazil goalkeeper added: “Newcastle away is always tough to play but it’s a great place for a football player who likes a big challenge.
“That’s what we are here at Liverpool FC, that’s [how] a player who plays at the highest level has to be.
“We like these kind of games, we like to play these kind of games, but we know that we’re going to face a great opponent that in the last two, three years has grown a lot, played really good football, really effective football.
“They have a really strong team and I think their supporters make an amazing atmosphere at their ground. So, we have to be ready to give our best if we want to get the chance to get three points.”
