Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker made a bad mistake against Leicester City in the Premier League last weekend.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson made a huge mistake during the Premier League game against Leicester City last weekend.
After receiving a back-pass from defender Virgil van Dijk – which was misdirected, it must be added – the former AS Roma custodian tried to outsmart Kelechi Iheanacho only to lose the ball and concede a goal.
Fortunately for the 25-year-old Brazil international – who earns £77,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – Jurgen Klopp’s side won the match, and Everton goalkeeper Pickford has made it clear that he does not plan to take the kind of risk that his Liverpool counterpart took.
Pickford told The Daily Mail: “It’s a risk – if it comes off it looks good. But if it doesn’t… It’s a style of play and I think that’s the way Liverpool want to play as well.
“Mistakes will happen and it’s about not making the next one. I’m going to try not to put myself in that position to make those mistakes.
“It’s the timing of the game, really. You don’t want to get too comfortable if you’re winning and start trying to be a No 10.”
Taking risk
Alisson is a very confident goalkeeper and is brilliant on the goal, but the Liverpool man need not have take the risk that he took against Leicester.
It is very positive of Pickford that he is learning from someone else’s mistakes.
