Alisson was the unfortunate goalkeeper on the receiving end of Liverpool’s sensational attacking play as the supporters created waves of noise to roar on Jürgen Klopp’s team.
It was an experience that stuck with the Brazil international and, in his first official interview after signing for the club on a long-term deal, he revealed its factor in the transfer.
“Yes, in part it did influence the decision,” Alisson told Liverpoolfc.com.
“When you make an important decision like this it’s not just a decision to change clubs, it practically changes your entire life, my family’s life, my wife, my daughter.
“That game definitely did have an influence but I also watched other games. I’ve seen other games where I could see the way Klopp had the team playing.
“That has made me really excited to be part of this group. Apart from the fact that the club is massive, the players that have come through here and the titles won, hopefully I can play a part in the history being created here, win titles and be a part of the project that has been developed here in the past few years so we can see Liverpool rise once again.”

Potentially a massive signing. We haven't had a reliable glovesman tending goal since Reina.

Error-free Alisson is just what Liverpool need
Paul Joyce
For all the figures framing Alisson Becker’s prospective move to Liverpool — from the size of a world-record fee in the region of £66 million for a goalkeeper to the impressive save percentages — it is the big, fat zero that really catches the eye.
The Roma player did not make a single error that led to a goal in 37 games in the Italian league last season and that, in a nutshell, is why Liverpool have pursued the Brazil international so vigorously.
For Liverpool, a No 1 who helps in the pursuit of prizes is an obvious upgrade. Given that a deal for Lyons’ Nabil Fekir was aborted at the 11th hour earlier in the summer, there will be no celebrating at Anfield just yet, despite the club reaching agreement with Roma and being granted permission to speak to Alisson. There is still a medical to complete today, and a six-year contract to sign. But the prevailing mood is one of cautious optimism, particularly because this is viewed as a game-changing signing.
One by one Liverpool’s weaknesses are being eradicated by the manager Jürgen Klopp and the club’s owners, Fenway Sports Group. A new goalkeeper was needed after the shortcomings of Simon Mignolet and then Loris Karius fuelled an erosion of trust in the team last season.
Alisson, who has been at Roma since 2016, is the very definition of a modern goalkeeper. He is adept with the ball at his feet, having made 1,082 passes in Serie A last season with an accuracy of 78.93 per cent, but it is his presence, shot-stopping ability and reliability that make him stand out. His save ratio was above 79 per cent. Mignolet’s was 59 per cent, Karius’s 69 per cent, both from 19 games.
Liverpool’s decision to invest so heavily in the 25-year-old — who ironically did concede seven goals against them in last season’s Champions League semi-final ties — signals a further realisation by Klopp that nature often beats nurture when there is pressure to challenge for the top honours. In successive transfer windows, the Liverpool manager has sanctioned two world-record fees, the defender Virgil van Dijk having arrived for £75 million in January. Van Dijk and Alisson are viewed as long-term additions, not quick fixes.
Klopp could not afford to stick with what he had. Karius has returned to pre-season training still broken following his Champions League ordeal against Real Madrid, despite the in-house explanation that he was concussed at the time of the errors.
The only goalkeeper to keep more clean sheets in Serie A last term than Alisson (17) was Napoli’s Pepe Reina (18), who Liverpool have not successfully replaced since offloading him in 2013 to save on wages. That shows how far the club’s transfer policy has evolved — no more shortcuts.
The other factor in the change in transfer strategy is Klopp’s ability to attract top players.
Not long ago Steven Gerrard would be asked by the hierarchy to text potential targets and use his status as a pull, but now the manager’s magnetism makes the difference.
