But Ederson believes there is one clear winner.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the three of us were the best, but I see Alisson one step ahead,&#8221; he told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He was great in the Premier League, won the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and had a great Copa America as well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I think whoever wins will be deserving and I&#8217;m happy for two Brazilian goalkeepers to reach this level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite being key to Liverpool qualifying for the Super Cup, Alisson played no part in the win, due to a calf injury picked up on the opening day of the Premier League season.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Transfer Record!

And I&#8217;m having a good time too. Of course, these are opportunities,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a player you must be prepared for everything.

And after just one season, it is already looking like fantastic business.<\/p>\n<p>Thrown straight in as no.1, Alisson kept 21 clean sheets in 38 appearances &#8211; more than any other player in the Premier League, conceding just 22 goals with Liverpool boasting the best defence in the division.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian faced 96 shots on target throughout the season, saving 76 of those for a staggering save percentage of 77.08% &#8211; better than any goalkeeper to have played more than five matches.<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s the Champions League, in which Alisson kept six clean sheets in 13 games and saved 78.95% of the shots on target he faced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has tipped Liverpool&#8217;s Alisson to be named as the FIFA Best Goalkeeper.
