Caoimhin Kelleher on 'octopus' nickname, pushing Alisson and more
It was an unusual nickname, but one gratefully received by Caoimhin Kelleher.
“Caoimh is like an octopus today!” declared an impressed James Milner after a fast-paced shooting session during pre-season training in July saw the Liverpool goalkeeper produce a series of eye-catching reflex saves.
“It was quite a compliment, but the senior players are quite complimentary here,” Kelleher recalled of the moment in a recent conversation with the official Liverpool FC magazine.
“They’ll let you know if you’re doing well and that’s good because it boosts your confidence as well when you hear players of their stature giving you praise.”
