Liverpool star Alisson issues telling response to Arne Slot and Jurgen Klopp comparison

Alisson has challenged his Liverpool teammates “to create our own history” in 2025.

Liverpool closes out 2024 at West Ham on Sunday and sits at the top of the Premier League and Champions League. Alisson was part of Jurgen Klopp's team that won the Champions League in 2019 and the title the following season and says the two teams cannot be compared.

The Brazilian goalkeeper's focus is on writing a new glorious chapter in Liverpool's history, and the Reds are well on course to win a record-equalling twentieth title. “I think they are different players, different managers, many more different things than similarities,” Alisson said when asked to compare the two sides.

“A few players are still playing in the team, but we have a slightly different style now, more possession. Before it was really easy, a lot of transition, a lot of intensity.

“That team was very special and we achieved great things. It was the first Premier League title for this club in a long time. Last season we also won the Champions League together.

“Of course you will encounter many things, but I believe that we do not need to compare ourselves with the teams of the past, we have to create our own history. This season, this group must write its own history.

“With the players who came in, they brought a lot of quality. What we are doing, we are not going to erase the things that we have done in the past that were really special and always will be in the history of this club.”

Alisson says there is a real hunger within the squad for more success. “What makes me happy is to see that this group of players has the quality to do something special,” he said.

“The most important thing is that the commitment needed to win something is there, along with the passion and desire. We are hungry and we want to win every game in front of us and that is all we are focusing on at the moment.”
