Previously, Jorginho had successfully converted eight penalties in English football competition, but failed against Alisson.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson claims that hard work is the only “secret” behind the penalty save that allowed him to stop Chelsea midfielder Jorginho’s excellent record with just 12 points.
The Blues found an unforgettable afternoon entertaining the defending Premier League champions at Stamford Bridge.
Andreas Christensen received a red card that cost his team a loss, while Kepa Arrizabalaga made another big mistake that allowed Sadio Mane to score his second of the game before Alisson saved Jorginho’s penalty with 15 minutes remaining.
Alisson’s effort in the goal was worth the favor to Liverpool clean sheet, and the Brazilian international is delighted to see his studies bear fruit.
Still, Alisson is not complacent but is delighted to be the first to block Jorginho’s penalty, who has already scored eight goals since then, in English football competition.
“I think in the Premier League this is the third penalty I tried to save,” Alisson told Liverpool’s official website.
“I’m very happy because before at Community Shield we lost on penalties. When the goalkeeper doesn’t save the penalty, you get a little depressed and then you think, ‘I could have done more, I could have done it differently.
“But the secret is to keep trying, knowing that you are in the right direction, in the right direction, working hard and we did it together – me, John. [Achterberg], Jack [Robinson], and all the video equipment that helped us a lot.
“Also with rebound, Millie [James Milner] and Virg [van Dijk] He did very well and I think they showed confidence in me that he would save the penalty.
“But we don’t need to talk about penalties or other saves, we need to talk about the team, how we play really well here. And we also have a lot to improve for the rest of the season.”
Liverpool stepped on the gas at the start of this season by winning two wins in their first two games, while manager Jurgen Klopp was able to bring out the best in his players.
He found another Brazilian, Fabinho, as a central defender at Chelsea headquarters, as his midfield had to be manipulated after the arrival of Thiago Alcántara, and the South American was outstanding.
It’s a monster! Unbelievable, but that’s what I expected from him, “Alisson said of his compatriot.
“If that surprises you, I will be surprised, because he is a top player. Wherever he plays, from number six or center back, he always does his best and his qualities allow him to play in different positions.
“He is a very smart player on the move and also one on one. It is necessary to fight [Timo] Werner, fight [Kai] Havertz and other players are of very good quality, so I congratulate him because I think he is the man of the match. “
Liverpool will return to action on Thursday when they face the third round of the League Cup against Lincoln.
