Alison Becker acknowledges that it is becoming harder to avoid talking about how close Liverpool are to winning the Premier League<\/a> title. Slot and his team now need only two more wins to officially be champions after Mikel Arteta\u2019s Arsenal drew to Brentford on Saturday.<\/p>\n There has been minimal talk from Liverpool players on winning the title, but Alisson believes they have reached a point where it is hard to ignore what everyone is talking about.<\/p>\n But the Brazilian says Liverpool’s mindset will not change as they prepare to travel to Leicester City on Sunday, knowing that a win could even secure the league title should Arsenal lose at Ipswich Town earlier in the day.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Liverpool truth rivals won’t want to know after bizarre Premier League claim<\/a>READ MORE: Liverpool set to offer another new contract after Mohamed Salah breakthrough and \u00a329m transfer<\/a><\/p>\n He said: \u201cI think to this point we always come here to speak with you guys, with the media, and we say, \u2018OK, we have to focus for the next challenge and don\u2019t think too much about the points [or] the advantage,\u2019 because it is what we believe is the right thing to do.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are at the point we cannot avoid anymore to talk about this and we just have to show the right attitude in front of the fans in the games we have to play\u2026 Working hard, fighting so hard for the whole game and really showing that we want to win this competition so hard.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s what we did for the whole season and it\u2019s what we have to keep doing \u2013 and I believe it\u2019s what we are going to do for the next games.\u201d<\/p>\n The goalkeeper had a top performance against West Ham United on Sunday, despite it being his first game back from injury.<\/p>\n And he added: \u201cI\u2019m pleased to come back and to deliver to the team a good performance, helping the team with the three points.<\/p>\n \u201cI am always frustrated when I cannot be involved in the games, and this season it happened a few times. But this is part of our profession as well \u2013 part of being a footballer is dealing with these upsets, these situations with injuries, and I\u2019m so happy to be back to help the team and to enjoy playing is what I love to do.\u201d<\/p>\n Alisson was full of praise for the West Ham side, but was disappointed to have conceded an unfortunate own goal after such a good start from the Reds.<\/p>\n \u201cThe place West Ham are in the table doesn\u2019t say anything about their quality, their team. They are so strong, so good, so many good players and they create chaos in the midfield, up front and in the last line it is difficult to defend,” he told Liverpoolfc.com<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s really disappointing when you concede a goal like that. We know our responsibility on the goal \u2013 sometimes you have to clap hands to the opponent because they deserve it for the way they play but it was really poor for us for 15, 20 minutes defensive-wise, giving too much space.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alisson Becker put in an excellent performance as Liverpool closed in on the Premier League title with a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22688,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[1050,763,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-22687","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-alisson","9":"tag-liverpool-fc","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114343430489495578","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22687"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22687\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
