Liverpool goalkeeping coach John Achterberg has hailed Alisson Becker's qualities.

For many, the Brazilian is the world's best.

Achterberg told the club's official website: “One of his big strengths is to stay calm in the high-pressure moments and making what look like natural, easy decisions, but they're not easy because you always need perfect solutions and decisions. It's a quality he has.

“Some reactions of a goalkeeper are instinctive, of course. It can be a split-second decision, but the main thing is your mind always has to be in an attacking mode, never take it off deciding whether you can reach the ball before anyone else, for example.

"If it's a 50/50 or a 60/40, am I fast enough to get there to win it? That's a mindset, but also a quality he has too, because he has the speed and reacts for it. It is a combination of everything in this moment.

“He is a goalie who has no fear – if he does something, he sticks to his decision. In his mind, he knows what to do and he doesn't hesitate. That is natural goalkeeping, having no fear, reading the game and deciding."
