In an interview with Liverpoolfc.com, Robinson was full of praise for the 27-year-old keeper and claimed that in regular five-a-side matches in training, Alisson brought to the table a sense of positional understanding that you would only find in the likes of Andrea Pirlo. Alisson is widely regarded as one of the best shot-stoppers in the EPL.
Robinson went into explicit detail about the Brazilian’s approach to fitness, training, and match preparation, and painted an intriguing picture of Alisson’s work ethic and intelligence. Alisson’s ability to read situations is evident in most EPL fixtures and the Merseyside club have benefitted immensely as a result.

Robinson also explained Alisson’s role in Liverpool’s tactical set-up and his importance to the team, particularly when EPL league leaders are in possession of the ball.
The goalkeeping staff also organizes outfield exercises for their goalkeepers from time to time, and Alisson’s performances in these exercises highlight his ability to dictate play.
Alisson joined EPL side Liverpool from AS Roma in 2018 for a fee of £66.8 million, and went on to establish himself as an undisputed starter in the Reds’ first team. The Brazilian was a crucial part of Liverpool’s triumphant 2018-19 UEFA Champions League campaign and is considered one of the most successful EPL signings in the past decade.
Alisson’s exploits in the EPL have seen Liverpool ascend to the top of the EPL table with an astronomical lead of 25 points over rivals Manchester City. The Brazilian goalkeeper has an excellent relationship with coach Jurgen Klopp and fellow teammates Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah, and Sadio Mane.
Alisson’s rare ability to pick out the forwards in his team with stunning precision has won Liverpool a fair share of points in the recent past and has made the Brazilian an irreplaceable figure in EPL’s top team.
