Alisson Becker has explained how the way Liverpool helped him cope with the tragic death of his father was a major factor in him agreeing a long-term contract at Anfield.
The goalkeeper is now almost two seasons into a six-year deal he signed in August 2021, less than six months after his father Jose passed away after drowning in a lake near his holiday home in southern Brazil.
With the world gripped by the coronavirus pandemic, Alisson made the difficult decision not to travel back to his homeland and instead remain in England with his then-pregnant wife.
