Alisson Becker was in front of the media ahead of Liverpool's Europa League quarter-final second leg at Atalanta on Thursday
Alisson Becker admits Liverpool will have no chance of ensuring a glorious finale for Jurgen Klopp this season unless they regain their mean streak - as he revealed his difficulties during a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
But Alisson admits Liverpool cannot afford to be too downhearted by the recent blip in form while urging better defending as a team. "Two bad results," he said. "We cannot make the mistake of making it bigger than it is. Of course, losing 3-0 at home is something we can't accept as LFC players.
"That's not only depending on the defenders but the whole team, we have to defend together and fight to get the ball back, close gaps, win challenges, block shots, stopping crosses, making difficult saves, we have to do that as a team, go back to get the clean sheets. That's the basis for us, not only for tomorrow but for the rest."
"We did in the past great things, great achievements. You can see in the history of football that teams have overcome bad results and turned around and qualified for the next stage in European competitions like that. "I want to be part of every game but I know it wasn't possible for me. I tried to make my best in the recovery and spent a lot of time on the bed having treatment and a lot of time in the gym to be strong when I came back, to be in a good shape and maybe better than I was before. That's how I feel.
