J. Kloppas: "Alisson could have been paid twice as much"

"Liverpool" fans will not have to move football nights to Thursday - the "Reds" escaped in the UEFA Champions League group stage and advanced to the quarterfinals. "Liverpool" players narrowly defeated "Napoli" and secured the second place in the group. It could have been a painful night for the "Reds" as in added time, "Napoli" striker Arkadiusz Milik had almost a hundred percent chance to equalize the score, but the hosts' savior, Alisson, who is a real wall in goal this season. Speaking to journalists about the Alisson episode, J. Klopp said that in the summer he would not have hesitated to pay double the amount if he had known how good the Brazilian would be. "Alisson took the punch of the year. I can't imagine how he managed to do it, but thank God he did it," the coach said. "If I had known he would be this good, I would have paid double for him in the summer. I think no one doubted that he would be there. He certainly had to score against us, didn't he?" the German continued. Later, J. Klopp also commented a little on the match itself: "After 65 minutes, the game became wild - it was counterattack after counterattack. I have no words to describe the Alisson episode. He saved our lives that night." Alisson, who cost around 65 million euros, managed to keep his goal dry in 15 matches this season.
