"I've never worked with a goalkeeper at this level."
Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised Alisson Becker for his crazy save in the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) away game.
Liverpool won 1-0 with Harvey Elliott's winning goal in the 44th minute of the second half following Alisson's good defense in the first leg of the European Champions League's round of 16 away match against PSG at Parc des France in Paris on the 6th (Korea time).
On this day, PSG constantly aimed for the Liverpool goal by shooting as many as 28 shots and 10 effective shots, but Liverpool had Alisson, the "world's best spider hand". Alisson blocked all PSG's shots with his fingertips, toes and whole body on the day.The best PSG strikers dropped their heads in frustration. Alisson neutralized and devastated PSG's offensive line with nine super saves.
Liverpool had only two shots and only one effective shot, and that one effective shot shook the net and led to the victory. What's surprising is that the starting point of this goal was also goalkeeper Alisson. Alisson's accurate long pass was dropped in front of the box, and a ground ball shot calmly laid by Harvey Elliott was sucked into the corner of the net. Immediately after the replacement, the first touch led to a goal. BBC Sport wrote '2 shooting, 1 goal = victory'.
Alisson's crazy save has been proven by data. According to Footmob, a soccer statistics company, Alisson recorded a total of nine saves, six diving saves and four saves in the box. He had 16 accurate passes out of 28, 10 accurate long passes out of 22, and 9.2 points. He was the highest among players of both teams.
Shortly after the game, Alisson told TNT Sports that "It was the best game of my life." "Coach Slot said how hard the game against PSG is, how well they handle the ball, we need to be ready to suffer. We were well aware of what was going to happen.' "I ran really hard. Sometimes they gave one-on-one chances, but the most important part of chasing the striker was to make the player who took the chance think more," he said, giving credit to the defense and teammates' delayed efforts. "My work has become easier thanks to the efforts of the team members. And the scene where Harvey Elliott scored at the end is a great story. It's a great night." He didn't hide his joy.
The slot manager, who overturned the absolute inferiority shown by the number of shots with a thrilling score of 1-0 victory, had to defend too much once or twice after the game, but usually lost 0-1, 0-2, 0-3. It's not often, but our victory here today was a better result than we deserved", referring to the overall inferiority. Admitting around the fact that the luck of victory followed, he gave praise to Alisson 'Guardian of Victory'. "I've never worked with a goalkeeper at this level. Alisson is the best goalkeeper in the world, so (super saves) are a given." "I've worked with a lot of great players as a coach, but I don't think there's been any of the best goalkeepers in the world, but Alisson showed that today."He did not hide his satisfaction.
