The Brazilian soccer goalkeeper described his team, Liverpool, as a “bloodthirsty shark” in an interview published on Friday by the Brazilian newspaper Fulia de São Paulo.
“We tasted the taste of victory by winning the Champions League title and we want to achieve more. We are like a penny who smells blood in the water and attacks,” said the 27-year-old European Champions League goalkeeper.
He added: “We have developed the winning instinct within our team, we believe we can achieve all of our goals.”
Liverpool is moving steadily to win the Premier League title for the first time in 30 years and add it to the European Super Cup and World Cup Club titles, which they won early this season and late last year, respectively.
The men of the German coach Juergen Klopp collected 73 points out of 75 possible in 25 league matches so far, and they are 22 points away from their closest pursuers Manchester City champion of the last two seasons.
Allison said that Club Klopp managed to extract the best from his players “thanks to his simplicity”, adding, “He is convinced of his work style and the results give him credibility. He is a fair and very honest man with everyone.”
Alison, who has conceded just six goals in 17 league appearances this season (missed the start of the season due to injury), was named the best goalkeeper in the world by the FIFA (FIFA) and won the Lev Yachin Award given by France Football.
Alison seemed modest in responding to a question by Julia de S. Paolo newspaper about whether he could be considered the best Brazilian goalkeeper in history who played in Europe and said, “We’ll talk about that in ten years when I’m retiring from play? You just have to see Dida’s CV (He was crowned champion of the Champions League twice with AC Milan in 2003 and 2007 and world champion with Brazil in 2002, although he was on reserve).
And he added, “I cannot reach his feet. Tavares was one of the main pillars in Brazil’s crowning world title in 1994, and Julio Cesar fought a wonderful career. I do not see myself at their level at the moment.”
When asked about his political convictions, he said that “the left has flooded the country economically” and criticized “those who voted against (extreme right president) Jair Bolsonaro and hope for its collapse.”
