Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker gives verdict on Arne Slot after first few weeks together | OneFootball

Alisson Becker is the latest Liverpool player to be questioned on their first impressions of new manager Arne Slot.

Alisson was quick to outline Slot's visions of seeking a team that can consistently defend to a very high level and how this will aid The Reds to reach their objectives for the 2024/25 campaign.

The Brazilian stated that his new manager has challenged his side to keep more clean sheets this season with the belief this will help Liverpool win games as well as preventing potential losses.

"This is a clear message from the manager. He wants us to get more clean sheets.

"He understands the importance of getting clean sheets, of having a team that can defend really well, being solid, being compact, being consistent. This is going to carry us through the season and will win us games as well.

We know the offensive quality that we have. So if we can defend the same way as we attack, if we can be that good, it will be really good for us this season to achieve our goals," Alisson said.

'It's been great!' - Alisson is enjoying Slot's tactical set-up

Liverpool's goalkeeper also praised his side's start to the new Premier League season but believes his team have a lot to improve on to get to the level they and Slot desire.

"It's always important to start on the right foot and also what we did on the pitch – talking about the positive things, everything that we worked [on] in the pre-season, in the weeks after the pre-season – everything we prepared we could do on the pitch.

"Of course, [there are] a lot of things to improve still but we work on that. We are really happy at this moment that we could start the season with three points and with a clean sheet as well. Those are our goals for the games this season," the Brazilian said.

Alisson also has enjoyed The Dutchman's 'build from the back' approach with it being something the goalkeeper believes will bring immense success if the players can execute it to their full potential.

"Arne is a manager that likes to create from behind a lot with short passes to create spaces where we can hurt the opponent.

"For me it didn't change too much, but I think for the team it changes a little bit more the formation. But for me it's been great – I have more players to play together closer to me.

"If we can do that with consistency, if we can do that in every game, in an intense way, defending really good, being compact, I think we can achieve great things for the season," Alisson said.
