Adrian wants to be Liverpool number one as Jurgen Klopp faces huge Alisson decision

Adrian insists he’s not yet ready to be a back-up goalkeeper as Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp faces the huge call over whether to restore Alisson to the side for the clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford. Alisson has been missing since he got an injury during Liverpool’s Premier League opener and during his absence; Adrian has averaged 114 minutes of play for every goal conceded. Speaking to the Daily Telegraph , Adrian said: “When I signed for Liverpool I knew I was coming for a big challenge in my career and I think the competition makes us better. So to have two No1s in the team is great for both of us. It’s a good decision for the manager because everyone wants to have the best and I think we are here - two No1s. “It’s not my mentality to be a No2 and even less so when I am 32. Maybe in four, five years time I will tell you differently but it’s much better than being in a comfort zone of one No1 and the other [goalkeeper] sitting on the bench forever. But I also like to be united and work together. I’m full of confidence to help Liverpool on the pitch and from the bench when the manager decides that Alisson plays.”
