Liverpool defender Van Dijk: We already feel better with Alisson in goal

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk admits he already feels comfortable with Alisson Becker in goal.

Alisson kept a clean sheet on his Premier League debut as Liverpool defeated West Ham 4-0.

Asked how Alisson has settled in so far, the Dutchman said: “Very good. We speak a lot. He's very vocal and that helps.

"It helps me and everyone in the back line. I think his presence is very good as well.

"He has a lot of qualities on the ball that helps us playing. We've worked on [our relationship] the whole pre-season and we'll keep practising. There's still a lot to do.

“It's just one game. We had a good pre-season with good results and games where we've played very well.

"But we can do a lot better and it's just the start. I think the key is we need to be very consistent and do it every game."
