Alisson only thinking of Liverpool future

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson says he's happily settled at Anfield.

The Brazilian recently earned his 100th clean sheet with the Reds, with many rating him their best keeper since Ray Clemence.

"Ray had over 600 matches for Liverpool (665)," said Alisson. "I don't know if I can play that amount here, but I'm already looking forward to the next 50 or 100 clean sheets, and for the next one in the next match we have.

"It would be special to be alongside them or to beat them, I admire a lot what the great goalies did, but I'm writing my own story here at Liverpool and I'm focused on that. It means a lot, even if I don't realise how big 100 clean sheets is now. Maybe in the future I will.

"I'm not the kind of guy who is really obsessed with numbers, of course numbers give you a bit of basis if you're doing well or not. In football you have to deal with that with stats and everything. I'm really happy to achieve this mark, 100 clean sheets for the club.

"When I saw on the internet a few names that reached this number, I'm really happy to be among them and reaching 100 clean sheets for the team. This is not a job exclusive of myself, it's a teamwork clean sheet. My face is there but it's the team work."
