Alisson’s sincere revelation on Ballon d’Or nomination

Alisson Becker was one of four Liverpool players – alongside Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah – to be included to be included on the 30-man shortlist for the prestigious individual accolade in early October. In his interview to Liverpool official website, the goalkeeper, who joined the Reds in the summer, has revealed his feelings on Ballon d’Or nomination. “It was a great honour to be nominated; realistically as a goalkeeper it’s hard to be nominated and even harder to actually win it. I had a great season last season but I don’t think it was sufficient to win the Ballon d’Or! But I feel really honoured to have been nominated. My objective isn’t to achieve personal awards; my aim is to win titles with the club – last season with Roma, this season with Liverpool. I’m really happy with the way we’re working, this continuity is really important,” the goalkeeper said. Alisson has kept seven clean sheets from his first 13 games as a Liverpool player, who joined AS Roma for £65million last summer.
