Liverpool goalkeeper, Alisson has come out to say that there was no need for Jordan Pickford to tackle Virgil van Dijk the way he did.
Alisson recently revealed that it was very unnecessary for Pickford to charge in the way he did but that is all in the past now.
According to him, even if all goalkeepers have a different way to play and a different way to move, some moves are not just necessary during football games.
He added that he does not agree with how the injury happened and most people agree that it could have been prevented.
His words, “Every goalkeeper has a different way to play and a different way to move, but in that moment, 100 per cent, it was not a necessary movement,”
“Thinking what I have in my mind when I go for a situation – I go to finish the situation, if I go too soft, I know the opponent can score – but everyone has their own way to go for the ball. I don’t agree with that way [Pickford on Van Dijk], everybody can see that. It was just an unnecessary moment and movement.”
Klopp added, “We have everything we need to keep doing our job, playing our football, playing the way we play,”
“We don’t need to make changes. Obviously you will miss some things – [like] Virgil’s headers!
“He doesn’t just help us in the defensive phase but attacking and scoring goals as well, but this will prove the strength of our team. We are a really strong side with many players who can play.”
