Alisson Says Liverpool Team-Mate Virgil van Dijk 'Scares the Opposition'

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has heaped praise on club team-mate Virgil van Dijk, describing him as "the giant" who "scares the opposition."

Van Dijk and Alisson played key roles in 2018-19 as Liverpool won the UEFA Champions League and came second in the Premier League with a club-record 97 points.

The Dutch centre-back (6'4") was signed in January 2018 from Southampton for £75 million, and Alisson from Roma last summer for £66.8 million.

The pair have had a huge impact in shoring up Liverpool's previously weak defence, which has turned them back into title contenders once again.
