Virgil van Dijk saluted Alisson’s leadership qualities after the Liverpool goalkeeper celebrated a century of clean sheets for the club following Saturday’s hard-fought win over Brentford.
Alisson celebrates Liverpool milestone
Alisson became the seventh shot-stopper in the club’s history to reach the milestone as he followed in the footsteps of Elisha Scott, Tommy Lawrence, Ray Clemence, Bruce Grobbelaar, David James, and Pepe Reina.
Alisson, who was making his 229th appearance for Liverpool, was presented with a special shirt by Jurgen Klopp to mark the achievement.
“On the pitch his qualities are there for everyone to see – his contribution, the saves, the leadership, that’s all very important,” Van Dijk said.
“But away from the pitch is just as important, the qualities he has as a person. He is a big, big leader in the group and someone a lot of players look up to. He’s an example for a lot of players, especially the goalkeepers.
“I’m very glad that he’s my goalkeeper and we have been very successful. Obviously, this (100 clean sheets) is for him a big moment and hopefully, there are many more to come."
