Alisson Becker Liverpool’s Alisson Becker dedicated his recent goal versus West Brom to his late father, who drowned near his home in Brazil in February, saying “I’m sure he was seeing, with God at his side, celebrating”.
The Brazilian goalkeeper displays great faith in God, regularly tweeting scriptural passages to his 1.2 million followers, his account reading “Belong to Jesus”.
Mr Becker has never been shy about his faith, sporting a t-shirt depicting “the cross equals love” shirt following Liverpool’s Champions League victory in 2019.
When asked if he had any advice for future goalkeepers, he responded: “If you want to be a great keeper, you need to work very hard. That’s what I do. You need to be very focused on football and I think faith is important too. If you believe in God, you know you have to do your best on the pitch and put love into everything you do in life.”
