Petr Cech has lauded the 'big impact' Alisson has had on Liverpool after a spate of bizarre criticisms during the World Cup.
Alisson has been backed by Brazil manager Tite as the clear first choice, starting three of their four matches in Qatar - the other being a nothing game against Cameroon - ahead of Manchester City's Ederson. The Reds goalkeeper kept consecutive clean sheets against Serbia and Switzerland before conceding a consolation goal in the 4-1 win against South Korea - although it could have been more were it not for his string of fine saves.
Despite such fantastic form for club and country, the 30-year-old has come in for some bizarre criticism recently. Former Manchester United man Peter Schmeichel said he is worried about Alisson for Brazil because 'there is always a mistake' - a claim that Reds fans mocked on social media - while Ruud Gullit echoed the Dane's point, adding that he 'turns off, especially with the ball at his feet'.
