Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has no problem with the expectations that come with a huge price tag.

When the Brazilian signed for Liverpool from Roma, he was the most expensive goalkeeper ever.

But that only lasted for two weeks, as Chelsea paid a higher fee for Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Alisson insists he was never phased by that sort of pressure that comes with a gigantic price tag.

He told FIFA's official website: "In football you always have to deal with pressure.

"Actually, I was only the [world's] most expensive goalkeeper for two weeks! But I knew it was a very big transfer, something out of the ordinary.

"That generated huge external expectations, but I didn't demand any more from myself than I normally would which is already a lot, regardless of my transfer value.

"For me, the most important thing is always to give your very best to help the team."
