Alisson reveals two things Roberto Firmino told him about Liverpool before he signed

Alisson spoke to compatriot Roberto Firmino before joining Liverpool - and the Brazilian told him two key things to convince him to sign.

Liverpool broke the bank to land the Brazil number one after losing in the Champions League final thanks to two mistakes from Lloris Karius.

The shot-stopper signed from Roma and has been instrumental in Liverpool tightening things up at the back this season as they go in search of a first Premier League title.

Alisson recently spoke out about his life at Liverpool, and explained that signing for the Anfield giants was an important step for him to take.

He also revealed that Firmino informed him that the club was very organised and like one big family.

"I spoke to Roberto and others before I came here and they told me about the British and that the people are very organised," said Alisson.

"He told me how things run in the club and that the emphasis is all about football so there were not too many mysteries.

"It's a very good life with a very good team. For me it was an important step in my career.

"We can describe the club as being like a family with some differences as we don't fight too much – less than a lot of families do and that's a good thing!"
