Pre-season is always an important time for players to ensure they’re in prime condition ahead of the upcoming season.
This year that rings even truer, as teams have less time than ever to get themselves ready for the new campaign.
You’d be forgiven for thinking life on the training ground for a goalkeeper may be a little less intense in terms of cardio exercises. However some behind-the-scenes footage has captured one of the drills Brazilian keeper Alisson is being put through and we need a lie down just watching it.
Keep an eye out for the save towards the end of the clip.

Considering the quick turnaround between seasons, you’d think players might be holding back a little, apparently not. The high intensity even has fans a tiny bit concerned about their star man picking up an injury.
Erm, thats class, but just calm it down at training. Would like him fit for the season. Those 8 games missed last season cost him most clean sheets. Just.

The consistency from the coach picking out the top corner deserves an extra shout out too, some incredible technique on show from the bloke which leaves the keeper no choice but to fling himself from post to post.
Since arriving Alisson has cemented himself as one of the most important figures at the club, having a similar effect that Van Dijk had and fixing a long-time problem area for Liverpool.
Liverpool welcome newly promoted Leeds United on the opening day of the season, the full fixture list for the 20/21 season was announced earlier today.
