​Alisson credits Liverpool teammates for FIFA Best award

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker believes that his FIFA award is partially due to his excellent teammates.

Alisson won the FIFA Best Goalkeeper award in midweek, capping off a tremendous first year with the club.

But he believes that despite his excellent personal performances, the team's displays and results helped him win.

"Well, like I always said, for me the most important thing is to achieve my goals that are the same of the team: winning something for the club, winning something together. And then if you win some awards individually then it's OK if you win always together," Alisson told Liverpoolfc.com.

"I'm really happy because I worked a lot to arrive here, to win the Champions League, to become a great player, to have a great season as I had in the last one with Liverpool and with the national team also.

"So yeah, I'm very happy because always I just feel grateful for my family - they help me a lot in all the moments, good moments, bad moments. They are together with me so I'm really happy for that."
