PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon says Liverpool’s Alisson Becker is considered one of the three best goalkeepers in the world.
Alisson and Buffon will play against each other tomorrow in Champions League vital clash.
“When I started playing the question you asked about goalkeepers was: How good are they with their hands? Now the question is how good are they with their feet?” he explained (via
Mirror).
“There is no doubt that goalkeeping has evolved throughout my career, but for me a goalkeeper must concentrate on the fundamentals. At the same time you have to accept the role has changed and that more things are expected of the modern goalkeeper.”
“Alisson is everything a modern goalkeeper needs to be. Liverpool have conceded very few goals this season - and he might be a new name for those in England but for me it is no surprise,” Buffon added.
“I have been watching him for some years now and am a big admirer. He is comfortable with the ball, he is an excellent shot stopper and I see that he gives confidence to his defence. He is one of the top three goalkeepers in the world right now and has everything to go on and be a great of his position.”
