One of the most expensive goalkeepers of all time, Alisson, spoke to the publication "Gazzetta dello Sport" about his ideal football pitch.
"My reaction is innate, it's just built into my DNA. I have to thank my parents, of course, without hard work alone, talent would not be enough," - said the Brazilian.
"In terms of my playing style, I feel similar to Taffarel, Julio Cesar, and Dida.
They were all excellent goalkeepers - Julio stood out for his physical strength and speed, Taffarel for his calmness and reliability, and Dida confidently guarded the goal. I try to adopt the best qualities from them.
Since childhood, I have followed in the footsteps of Gianluigi Buffon - he is a great example and a humble person. Wojciech Szczesny is currently playing well, as it is not easy to replace the legendary goalkeeper of Juventus.
Am I the best in the world? I belong to the most capable group along with M. Ter Stegen, Jan Oblak, and D. De Gea.
But if I try to stay at their level, I will be surpassed.
You just have to play well in every match and constantly improve," - said Alisson.
