What Alisson Becker told Dominik Szoboszlai in private about Liverpool transformation
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has revealed to Dominik Szoboszlai what his daughter said to him after his recent transformation. The Brazilian shot-stopper has opted for daring looks during his time at Anfield and recently captured the attention after shaving his beard off.
The Reds' number one has been one of the key figures behind the recent success at Anfield as he has been the driving force from the back to establish himself as one of the best in the Premier League and also, the world. After a recent injury problem, which forced him to miss the win over AFC Bournemouth, Alisson returned between the stick for Saturday's 2-1 win over Wolves.
Liverpool moved top of the Premier League ahead of the final top-flight outing on Saturday against Crystal Palace, as international football sweeps back around.

This week, the official club accounts posted the 2024/25 team picture, a first under new head coach Arne Slot, and offered an insight into behind the scenes of the shoot. Alisson was at the centre of the mischief as he wound up the photographer by folding his arms.
During his encounter with Szoboszlai, with the Hungarian inspecting the change, the 31-year-old detailed the ruthless dig from his daughter after he braved the shave. He said: "My daughter is saying, 'you are now my brother'.
"Daddy looks like a kid."
Speculation has begun to swirl over the former AS Roma as interest from Saudi Arabia emerged, as well as links with the likes of Bayern Munich. Liverpool have been proactive in their goalkeeper hunt and confirmed the signing of Georgian, Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will join up with his new club next summer.
In the meantime, Alisson has reaffirmed his commitment to the club. He said: "We are committed to the plan and can see it is a good plan.
"We still have a lot to improve but we are in the right direction. We have a big gap to reach for our best but we are doing well so far. I am committed to this club 100% and that involves being part of the leadership group.My main motivation is not the prizes, the trophies - my motivations come from inside.
"My faith in God makes me work hard and better and want to be the best in what I do because I believe everything I do is a way to praise God. Winning trophies and awards makes me happy, but my motivation comes from inside, my family.
"The main part is hard work. I always like to improve myself. When I do a season that is my best season, this is the standard I need to go further."
