Alisson explains Jurgen Klopp's plan to get Liverpool returning to their best form

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker says the confidence Jurgen Klopp is placing in his underperforming players should eventually bear fruit in improved performances.

The Reds have endured a dismal, injury-hit defence to the Premier League title they won in June, and go into Monday night's trip to Wolves down in eighth place in the table.

They did return to winning ways with a 2-0 victory against RB Leipzig in the Champions League last week though, and Alisson is sure that Klopp's words will get them returning to their best.

“When it comes to motivating the players, Klopp is a specialist," the Brazil international told FourFourTwo.

“He always finds the right words to give us more confidence before matches – you know he has a genuine passion for the game.

“We can all see how much he believes in his plan, and how confident he is in the players. It’s not only him, actually. Klopp has a great staff with him, and everybody is vital to keep everyone else motivated.

“I’m convinced that we’re on the right track to achieve our goals, because the squad understands the need to fight not only for yourself, but for each other, for the manager, for the fans.

“We’re together and depend on each other. That’s our mentality at Liverpool.”

While winning the Premier League again is off the agenda already, Alisson adds that he's hopeful the Reds can taste success in the Champions League again having won it in 2019 at the end of his first season at the club.

“Life is about fighting for your dreams," he added.

“You might change a dream or update it, but you must keep fighting for what makes you happy.

“In football, winning trophies is the main goal. Now I know the feeling of winning a Champions League final, and I want to feel it again and again.”
