Alisson Becker admits Liverpool face a huge challenge in trying to adapt to a summer of change in the transfer market that has seen eight players signed and seven leave. The Premier League<\/a> champions kicked off the defence of their crown on Friday night with a 4-2 win<\/a> over Bournemouth in a game that featured four new starters in Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike.<\/p>\n

The Reds also confirmed the \u00a326m addition<\/a> of Giovanni Leoni before the game and had \u00a329m goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili on the bench, while Arne Slot has also bolstered his shot-stopping ranks with the captures of Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman during the window.<\/p>\n

Talks opened with Crystal Palace over captain Marc Guehi last week while Liverpool<\/a> will move if given encouragement from Newcastle United for a potential British record move for Alexander Isak.<\/p>\n

On the outgoings, the likes of Luis Diaz, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Darwin Nunez have all moved on alongside Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Tyler Morton and Nat Phillips.<\/p>\n

Ben Doak will be next once his \u00a325m departure to Bournemouth<\/a> has been confirmed and speaking after Friday’s hard-fought win over Bournemouth, Alisson believes the level of turnover cannot be ignored so easily when critiquing performances in the early going.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s hard,” Alisson told NBC. “Not many people talk about the changes we had in the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody\u2019s said how good our team is becoming with new players coming in, but nobody talks about the challenge that this is. It is a big challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast season we had the challenge of changing the manager, but you keep the players so you know each other, you just have to keep the same way of playing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe manager was smart in the way he did that and also implementing new things, it was easy for us to understand.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut having new players to come in and changing a lot. Today (we didn’t have) Ryan (Gravenberch), who is a really important player for us, didn\u2019t play as well. But everybody did amazingly well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think for them to play, for Jeremie, for Flo (Wirtz) and for Hugo, playing for the first time in the Premier League, you have the physicality that\u2019s a little bit different, the intensity.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut they showed up so well today, they played amazingly well. Of course with our help, but they showed that their qualities are at the standard of Liverpool FC<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The champions return to action when they are entertained by Newcastle at St James’ Park on August 25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alisson Becker reflects on the high level of turnover at Liverpool this summer transfer window 13:39, 17 Aug…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":89961,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1720,1711,10598,403,99],"class_list":["post-89960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-alisson","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-liverpool-fc-transfer-news","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
