Jurgen Klopp names the star who must be watched and it’s not Salah or Van Dijk

Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp has praised goalkeeper Alisson as the star has been shining bright this season. Alisson was signed by Liverpool last summer with the Reds paying an eye-watering £66.8million for the shot-stopper. Mark Morris is Liverpool’s U23 goalkeeping coach has hailed Alisson and advised his prodigies to keep an eye on the Brazilian. "He's one of the best in the world, so you can't help but look up to the guy. "What we try to encourage the boys to do is to watch him. “And the way we play at Liverpool, the boys have to be calm on the ball. He fits the bill in terms of modern goalkeepers. "How we play, we use him as an example to the boys - playing out from the back, seeing if the longer passes are on and trying to be calm with the team. “He gives a level of calmness out from the back, which is vital for the way we play. "He's the quickest I've seen. You strike a ball and as you strike the ball, you look up and you see the 'keeper going. “I was striking the ball, looking up and he was already there. He's remarkably quick. "In terms of goalkeeping, he doesn't take chances. “If it needs to go, in terms of his handling, he doesn't try to catch something that he's struggling with - it goes. “His decision-making is very, very good. He has a footballing brain and he's very, very quick."
