Dudek: Allison is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and Mamada s second goal role is also very important

Liverpool meritorious goalkeeper Dudek recently accepted an interview with the club's official media. He believes that both Alison and Mamadashvili will play an important role in the new season, because Liverpool hopes to further develop on winning the Premier League championship last season.

Dudek said: "I think both of our goalkeepers are excellent, and Kellech performed great when Alisson can't play, and that's what the team needs. From past experience, the season is long and there are many games. You never know what will happen, so the team needs two good goalkeepers. In my opinion, Alisson is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and he is our first choice.

"And Mamadashvili can be a good substitute goalkeeper, he has all the abilities to be a top goalkeeper, which is what we need. Every position needs a good enough substitute, especially the goalkeeper position. Of course, Mama Dashvili needs time to adapt, because the Premier League is different, the game here is faster and the players are under greater pressure, and he will soon be able to understand this!

"The pressure on the goalkeeper position is even greater. When you try to organize the attack with the ball under your feet or deal with the cross, this is very different from what you face in the Champions League. The referee's style is also different. In the European game, it may be ignored by the referee in the Premier League!

"As a goalkeeper, you must accept this and have a firm mindset that you need to deal with whatever happens. I realized this when I first joined Liverpool and realized that I had to adapt. I wasn't very accepting at first, but you have to be very strong and respect that because it's the same for every player. ”

Speaking of the roles of goalkeeper No. 1 and goalkeeper No. 2, Dudek said: “When I knew I was goalkeeper No. 1, I was very confident. I will also perform well when I have a good relationship with the second goalkeeper and are clear about their respective roles. I had this experience when I was at Liverpool and Feyenoord. I went to Real Madrid in 2007 and they told me the same way. The team said I would be the No. 2 goalkeeper, so I understand that my role is to help Casillas prepare for the game.

"I accepted this role and fulfilled the task conscientiously. The best situation is that both goalkeepers can keep improving. If Alisson is at the best level, it is very important for Mamadashvili to reach the same level, rather than pulling Alisson down. As goalkeepers, you need to work together to improve because it is very important for the team's success.

"If the team wins a league or a Champions League trophy, the satisfaction of all the team's goalkeepers is the same. If you have confidence in your role, you will perform better. You want to get along with your teammates, but if you are in Alison's position, you know you have to stay focused and you need to be prepared for the No. 1 goalkeeper role. Mamadashvili certainly knows that he is currently the No. 2 goalkeeper, but if he has the chance, he must catch it. This relationship also depends on the goalkeeper coach, who needs to maintain the level of No. 1 goalkeeper and improve the ability of No. 2 goalkeeper.

"In my observation, the relationship between the Reds goalkeepers is very good, and I hope this can continue, because there are many games and everyone will have a chance. This is not like football in the past, where a goalkeeper could play 300 games in a row! Now it's very different, everyone will have a chance to play."
