Since myself and a few others like Pepe Reina, we haven't had a goalkeeper who has commanded his area as well as Alisson.
Alisson is an excellent goalkeeper.
The biggest thing I have taken away from these two years at Roma is the fact I grew as a goalkeeper.
You look at some of the top teams in the world that have got the best strikers, and they are looking to buy another top striker. But if you have got a top goalkeeper, you are not often looking to buy another goalkeeper.
Alisson arrives at Liverpool with much more experience than De Gea had when he first went to United so I don't think there will be anyone out there who doesn't feel Alisson shouldn't be here.
In Ukraine as well as in Brazil, Manchester City is now considered one of the best teams in the world, and after I signed, people back home in Brazil congratulated me for signing for one of the top teams in the world.
Because I grew up playing for Roma and I want to die playing for Roma, because I have always been a Roma's fan!
I left Brazil very early, before reaching the top level of the Brazilian championship. That made a difference: I was not seen as a 'name' around the country.
Being a goalkeeper gives you quite a unique perspective on things. You are part of a team yet somehow separate; there are no grey areas, with success or failure being measured in real time; and you have a physical job which you can only do well by paying attention to your mental well-being. A great goalkeeper has to have the keys to a great mindset. To be able to work well in the box, I believe you have to be able to think outside the box
For 40 years, the American middle class has been disappearing. Millions of people are working longer hours for lower wages despite a huge increase in technology and productivity. And what we have seen during that period is a massive transfer of trillions of dollars from the middle class to the top one-tenth of 1 percent of America
I was never top of the class at school, but my classmates must have seen potential in me, because my nickname was Einstein.

Do your job brilliantly and the cream will rise to the top.
There's a difference between a young goalkeeper and an experienced goalkeeper. In a pressure situation, an experienced goalkeeper can handle the situation in a calm manner.
I think there's new optimism in Brazil. The Olympics went well. Our demand is good. Costs are down. We're back in the black. We're feeling really good about what's going on in Brazil.
You can't win any trophies unless you've got a top goalkeeper.
