Alisson Becker said this after Liverpool beat Everton 2-0 at Anfield. Alisson Becker offered a two-word assessment when asked if Liverpool should return to 12.30pm after the international break.Last season Liverpool were drawn at 12.30 in six on Saturday and took three points on 18 occasions. After last month’s win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, the battle is over.
But on Saturday afternoon, the Reds were due to start early again against Everton in the 243rd Merseyside derby. However, Jurgen Klopp’s side secured another win as Mohamed Salah’s second-half goal gave Liverpool a 2-0 win. Asked about the 12.30pm kick-off after a long trip to Merseyside for Brazil, Alisson said: “Is it the same again?” he answered.Before continuing, “It’s always tough coming back from the national team and playing at 12:30 at night.
We traveled a lot and went to South America and had a tough game, but I’m glad we got three points. He was fantastic today.” Salah opened the scoring from the penalty spot and then added a second in added time to complete a superb counter-attack. The goal took the Egypt international’s league tally to 201 and the win left Liverpool top of the table. “About our neighbors,” he added, “sometimes you have to deal with that frustration during the game, but I think we did really well today.”
“We were patient, played the ball well and created chances. Lucho [Luis Diaz] was great to create one-on-one chances for us and then all of a sudden the game started and we conceded both goals. “Today is the big event of the derby,” he said.
