Alisson Becker wants Liverpool to continue with the same desire and unity that was evident in the Reds’ remarkable comeback win over Newcastle United.
Darwin Nunez’s late boost saw Jürgen Klopp’s side leave St Petersburg on Sunday. An unforgettable three points from James’ Park in a furious Premier League encounter.
Anthony Gordon opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half before Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk was red-carded moments later for a foul on Alexander Isak.
But Klopp’s charges secured victory with help from Nunez and Alisson, with the latter making a number of crucial saves between the posts during the contest.

Read below how the number one reacted to Liverpoolfc.com after the game…
Núñez! Núñez! Núñez! Yes, Darwin. I think we have to talk about him, the two wonderful goals he scored. Ending those two situations was not easy, but he succeeded amazingly, but he did not do it alone. I think the team, wow, that was an incredible performance with one less player on the field.
It was really difficult, also mentally, it was a big challenge for us to believe. We said at halftime that we had to believe we could do something here in the second half, and we did.
I have been involved in football for a long time and I know that sometimes you can make a really good save and things go in the good direction of the team. Then sometimes you make an amazing save and things go wrong. So anything can happen in football, I try to focus on the next ball to keep helping the team.
Today was not an easy day, not only for me but also for the team, because of the conditions; hitting an early target, getting a man out. It was really difficult to play like that for a long, long way, but it was an incredible performance for the team with 10 men,
I think one of the best performances we’ve had in maybe the last few months, last year, no. . . I don’t know but it was great.
I think we have to take that desire, that passion, that unity that we create here and carry it forward into the next games.
This guy is amazing. He has a lot of expectations about his performance, from the supporters, from everyone, from his teammates, from the staff, from everyone, because he is really good.
He is amazing and has huge potential. But he is still young and needs time. We have to be patient with him and support him so that he feels that we really support him. Darwin Nunez
All moments, difficult moments, we are there for him. The South Americans are for him, all his teammates are for him and I see the supporters too, everyone loves him.
When he enters the game, they are already chanting his name: Nunez! Núñez! We joke about it with him too, but I’m serious, I tell him so many times that people here in Liverpool love you and want you to do well and you have to be patient.
I think he shows it. He is patient, but this guy has a fire inside, he has a great desire to play more, to be determined for the team, not selfish, but he really wants to help the team do great things, win games and win cups. .
He has that mindset because this guy is on fire and I hope he can keep this show going from here.
