Brazilian and Liverpool goalkeeper, Alisson Becker has intimated that the real reason he joined the Reds over Chelsea was because of the former’s history.
Liverpool have 6 European trophies and 18 domestic titles and it also helped that Liverpool were in the Champions League this season while Chelsea struggle in the Europa League.
Alisson in an interview with Four Two Two, stated that he believed that a move to Liverpool was the best thing for his career at the time.
He doesn’t seem wrong with Liverpool currently sitting on the top of the table with 4 points more than Manchester City who won the league last season.
“I chose Liverpool for the same reasons I went to Roma when I first left Brazil – I thought this would be the best move for my career,”

“I’ve also always admired Liverpool’s history,” Alisson continued.
“This is a club with five European Cups in their trophy cabinet. I really wanted to be part of that history.
“I came very close to winning the competition with Roma and I’m working hard to make it happen now with Liverpool.
“What’s life if not fighting for your dreams? I dream of winning the Champions League.”
While they may be out of the FA Cup courtesy of a shock defeat to Wolves, a game against Brighton on Saturday is a great opportunity for them to bounce back after a blip against Manchester City who closed the gap between them and Liverpool.
