Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker of Liverpool spoke about the reasons behind the team's decline in performance this season compared to last season. He also commented on the current situation between Mohamed Salah and his coach Arne Slot during the press conference ahead of the Champions League match against Inter.

Alisson said, "In last season's Premier League, before Arne Slot arrived, everyone was talking about the magnitude of the big challenge."

He added: "It seems that some people take what we achieved last season for granted, thinking it should have been enough. However, we believe in Selot's abilities and his style of play, and that he is capable of helping us change the current situation."

He continued: "It's not just about us, but also the club. The management trusts him, and the responsibility is not his alone. We players share this responsibility. We are the ones who take action on the field, and we can change everything."

He continued: "This doesn't make things easier, but we are trying. We have the desire to improve the situation, and the coach does too, to get us back on the right track and to the level of football we showed last season."

He also said: "Everyone places their expectations on us, and everyone expects the top players to raise their level. The club has the same expectations, and that's why we are here."

He continued: "I take full responsibility and feel it. I can offer more than just good performance on the pitch; I help the younger and new players. We have the Liverpool mentality, and it must be passed on to everyone—not just me, Van Dijk, and Robertson, but everyone who has played here for years."

He added: "We have local players like Curtis, and stars who have spent more than two or three years with the team, and they are also trying to contribute, perhaps not through statements but through their daily actions."

Alisson spoke about Mohamed Salah's crisis with Klopp: "This situation doesn't make us happy on a personal level. We all love Mo; he is a very important player for the team. He is a wonderful person and an amazing player, and he has delivered exceptional numbers for the club."

He continued: "He has won everything in his career. The situation is not good, and we were a bit surprised, but it is a personal matter, so we leave it between him and the club. What we hope for is that they reach an agreement that serves the interests of the player, the club, and all his teammates."

He concluded: "We want to give our best against Inter. Everyone can expect to see a Liverpool team playing with great determination to win and improve the situation. We know the task will not be easy, as Inter is a very strong team."
