Even with a good performance by Alisson, the Liverpool couldn’t hold the Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu and was eliminated from the Champions League this Wednesday. The goalkeeper, who has had a season of ups and downs, analyzed the fall of the English team in the competition and spoke about his absence in the last squad of the Brazilian Team.
“The result was fair, both in the first game and today. Against an opponent that has incredible quality. We arrived at the stadium with a feeling that something could happen if we deserved it on the field. We didn’t. So congratulations to the Real Madrid deserved it”, said the Brazilian.
Alisson lives a season of ups and downs, both individually and as a team. With that, the goalkeeper was left out of the last call-up of the Brazilian national team, for the friendly against Morocco, on March 25th. Weverton, do palm treesEderson, do manchester cityand Mycael, from Athletico-PRwere the names chosen for the position.
“About the Selection, I expected to go, of course, obviously. But I respect and understand the decision of Ramon (Menezes) and the entire coaching staff. I will continue working. I want to be back in the Selection in this new cycle of the world Cup“, revealed the player.
In Liverpool’s defeat for the first leg against Real Madrid, by 5 to 2, Alisson was widely criticized for his performance. The goalkeeper missed the ball and ended up delivering a goal to the Spanish team. Before that, the Brazilian had already had a similar failure in the match against Wolverhampton, for the FA Cup.
“I think I had a couple of games where maybe I didn’t give my best this season. In terms of the collective result, maybe, along with the season after we won the Premier League, has been one of the worst of my career. But coldly analyzing my performances, I believe that I have given the best and I have performed. Even the World Cup was doing a great Premier League”, he analyzed.
“I think I had a good World Cup, of course I couldn’t save anything on penalties, but that’s part of football. After that, maybe I had a couple of games where I didn’t go well, including against Real Madrid at home. The game against Wolverhampton for the FA Cup I also made a mistake that resulted in a goal. The rest of the games I was always ready to help the team. Today, once again, I believe I played a great game”, he concluded.
