Alisson: People Expect Me To Be Perfect Because Of My Transfer Fee

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson says some persons expect him to be perfect because of his £65 million price tag.

. The Brazilian joined Liverpool for a then world record fee from AS Roma last summer. Kepa Arrizabalaga was later signed by Chelsea for £71m in the same summer to eclipse that record.

. After linking up with his national team the 26-year-old spoke with reporters.

. “I came here for a high price and some people expect me to be perfect – it is not easy but I’m trying.

. “It is really early to say if I’m satisfied with how I’m playing but I’m working to be perfect, I’m working to be better.

. “I am really, really happy with my move to the Premier League. I’m working really hard to help Liverpool to achieve their goals and also for the Brazil national team.”

. Liverpool paid a world record fee for a defender to bring in Virgil van Dijk in January, while Alexander Arnold, Joe Gomez and Andy Robertson have also developed greatly.

. The shotstopper acknowledges the quality in front of him which has made settling down a bit easier for him.

. “The Premier League has great intensity, you have to be really focused all the time,” said Alisson.

. “One thing that is important here is the concentration and focus. They are asking me to be really mentally strong.

. “My team have a really great defence so it is not often the ball comes near my net.

. “But I have one or two opportunities to show my quality, so I need to be focused all the time.”
