What did Alisson say?
The Brazilian goalkeeper said, “They scored early in the second half and you know how it is in football, 2-1 and game on. They were close to scoring a second as well but we worked well defensively. We know that we have a lot of things to improve but we can now focus on the next challenge.”
Speaking on [player 100556]’s first goal for Liverpool, [player 129820] said, “It’s really important for us. He’s a young player, a big talent with a lot of qualities. He is a good defender, a top guy and a really nice person as well. I’m happy to have him on the team and we can count on him as well to score goals.”
The Liverpool goalkeeper also talked about [player 1917]’s brilliance saying, “Sometimes it looks as if he has got eyes on his back! He just gets the ball and puts it there. The diagonal ball for Luis was amazing, then the decision Luis had to give Sadio the ball – it was an amazing goal. Everyone can score in the team, that is good for us and we keep on going and get ready for the next one.”
Liverpool’s upcoming fixtures
This season’s title race has been a great one. In January, hope for [team 18] and Liverpool looked almost dead. However, since mid-January, Liverpool have been in tremendous form, and City have dropped points on multiple occasions. City dropped points against [team 65], [team 6] and recently against [team 51], where they struggled to find the breakthrough.
[team 8]are blowing teams away with their high-intensity football. [player 159917] is in excellent form and has carried a major threat. The new signing, [player 241036], has been on fire as well, and [player 1389] is also looking good again. Their midfield is also solid with [player 31857] pulling the strings. [player 1743] and Trent have also performed brilliantly.
Liverpool’s fixtures in April could be season-defining. They face Manchester City next at the Etihad in a huge game for the [league 8] title. Klopp’s side are just a point behind City, and a win against Pep’s men could prove massive. Following the City game, they host [team 605] for the second leg of the quarter-final in the [league 2].
Post Benfica, they play [team 9] again in the semi-final of the [league 24] before another huge game against [team 14] at Anfield. A Merseyside derby at Anfield will be next for Liverpool, and the month will finish with a game at [team 20].
Liverpool are looking well within sight for an unprecedented quadruple, but it’s still unlikely. They are likely to face [team 503] in the semi-final of the UCL if they eliminate Benfica in the current round. Also, beating City in the semi-final will be a tough task.
This season’s turnaround has been massive, and all the credit goes to Liverpool’s mental strength and their unbelievable manager, [coach 455353].
