Alisson hails Liverpool boss Arne Slot after perfect start

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has praised new manager Arne Slot for his straightforward approach, as the Reds enjoy a perfect start to the Premier League season.

The team has yet to concede a goal in their first three matches, dispelling concerns over how they would fare after the departure of long-time manager Jurgen Klopp.

Slot's influence was evident in Liverpool's dominant 3-0 away victory against Manchester United before the international break.

"His [Slot's] ideas are not too complicated. He's a really smart manager - not only about the way he thinks about football but the way he implements his ideas, it's really clear," said Alisson.

"The message is really clear, so for us players it's not too complicated and I think that's what we are showing on the pitch. Now we get confidence from doing the things that he asks us to do.

"But he demands a lot of hard work from us and from our side we have to keep going with these kind of things. But the answer the players are giving on the pitch is unbelievable, the hard work is so good - we have to highlight that.

"Everybody with the same goal of winning the game, keeping the clean sheet and doing whatever is necessary to do on the pitch - to defend, to attack, to score goals, create chances. So that's why I think we are doing so well at the beginning of the season."

Alisson also highlighted the hard work of key players such as Mo Salah and Luis Diaz, particularly in their defensive efforts, which have contributed to Liverpool's solidity at the back.

Mo Salah, despite being in the final year of his contract, has been in exceptional form and dismissed questions about his future, confirming that no discussions have taken place regarding an extension.

Yet, his performances on the pitch have been crucial to Liverpool's success in the early stages of the campaign.
