Liverpool couldn’t have asked for a better result at home. A comfortable victory at Anfield, and plenty of impressive individual performances. It was the perfect game to follow-up Jurgen Klopp’s shock announcement on Friday.
At the start of the game, Liverpool also had another new captain. With neither Virgil van Dijk nor Trent Alexander-Arnold starting the game – the responsibility fell to Alisson Becker. As one of the most experienced members of the squad, the Brazilian was a natural choice.
Putting in a top performance as usual, Alisson will be proud of his latest achievement. What speaks even more volumes is the gesture he was spotted doing ahead of performing his captain responsibilities.
What Alisson was spotted doing against Norwich City
Alisson Becker ahead of the game was seen inviting four lucky Liverpool mascots to participate in the coin toss with him. The gesture was spotted by Daily Mail journalist, Lewis Steele, who shared the moment on his X account.
The gesture speaks volumes of the man. Alisson is a top-class individual, and he made these little Liverpool supporters’ day. It’s a memory that they will take with them for the rest of their lives. And it sums up exactly what Liverpool are about. It’s a family, and it’s a community club. A club that has a connection with its fans like no other in world football.
It’s exactly the values Jurgen Klopp has instilled in his players. And it’s exactly one of the things that will be sorely missed about the German when he departs at the end of the season.
