Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson: I've changed career focus since arriving here

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker admits he changed his career focus when joining Anfield.

Alisson helped Jurgen Klopp's side win the Champions League last season before claiming FIFA Club World Cup and Premier League winners' medals this campaign.

"When I arrived here before Liverpool, I always had the Champions League as my biggest goal," he said.

"You always want to win the league obviously, but the Champions League is the biggest thing achievement that a player can have for his club.

"But when I arrived here, I heard people saying 'why do we want the Champions League, we want the league!'. And I always said 'no, I want both!'.

"That started coming into my veins, and I wanted to go for that. We were close the season before (last season). We had this feeling that it was nearly there and we could do it.

"We won the Champions League and that gave us confidence to win the league for the people and the club. It was a long wait that everybody had, but we've won at the right time."
