Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson: CWC huge for Flamengo and Brazil

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has called for total focus facing Flamengo in the Club World Cup final.

Victory over the Brazilians would not only make this their most successful year since 2001, it would see them secure this prize for the first time. Brazilian Alisson is aware of the emphasis that Flamengo have put on winning here.

"It is big for Brazilians but I think it is bigger for who is playing in the game," said Alisson.

"If you are on the outside of this competition, you don't give it value. It is elite, it is just for the winners. Flamengo won the Libertadores. We won the Champions League, Monterrey won the CONCACAF.

"We have many other clubs here who won big competitions and we are here. We are making this big for us. This is important.

"It is important to make history and put our names in the club as the first ones ever that won it for Liverpool.

"You can feel how much Flamengo want this but this is not just big for them, this is big for us also. We want to win it. We will try our best to do it. We are all so excited."
