Seven backwards in the last two friendlies made Andoni Iraola frown along the sidelines – and in the press conferences. It was therefore a good Sunday in the last friendly match for Liverpool with zero backwards and two goals against Como. For Alisson, it was particularly reassuring to see two new guys in front of him in the box, who the Brazilian is convinced will lift the defence this season.
Jeremy Jacquet and Ronald Araujo both delivered a strong half alongside Virgil van Dijk, and impressed the Liverpool goalkeeper.

-Both played very, very well. Jeremy had a great first half (even scoring), great on the ball, great defending and control of the space behind and in front of him. A great performance,” Alisson begins, according to the Liverpool Echo.
-Ronald also had a very good game in the second half. It’s very good to have a strong centre-back who can help the team in depth as well. That’s what we need if we want to compete for trophies this season,” the Liverpool goalkeeper said.
