Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian says he's delighted helping Caoimhin Kelleher to continue to improve.

The pair are pushing eachother as the prime cover for No1 Alisson.

Adrian told liverpoolfc.com: "As I always say, the competition makes us better – not just in the goalkeeper position, in life – when you have healthy competition to give your best. Then, at the end of the day, it's the manager's decision who is playing or not. Ali is a super, top goalkeeper, one of the best in the world. He is showing [that] every game he is playing. Not just scoring goals! Making some saves – good saves – and giving points to the team. Being together and helping each other is the most important thing in the goalkeeper mentality.

"Also, when Caoimhin made his debut many people were asking me if I wanted to play, what did I say? I supported him. And he told the press as well that I support him every time. He is younger, he has a long time to keep playing and keep improving as well. I tried to do what the most experienced players did with me when I was a bit younger than now. I tried to help him, give some advice, motivation, supporting, having that confidence that you feel better and you feel bigger when you play.

"My position, as I say, I'm always trying to work hard, to give my best, to keep pushing and give that competition. And enjoying our job because, as I say, we are very privileged to do what we love, and we love to play. Obviously sometimes we are a bit selfish because we want to play everything. But we have to understand we have a big group; you have your role sometimes, you have another role another time. So we have to adapt and give everything for the club."
