As soon as a free kick is given and it's anywhere near the box, I get excited. I don't really concentrate what side the keeper is on, because I always think that if I catch it as well as I can, then I can beat him whichever way he goes.
Buffon may be a bit smaller, but he has everything that you want from a great goalkeeper. He relays his confidence to his defence, and they feel that they have a great keeper behind them. Everybody can make mistakes, but his consistency level is amazing. You never see him have a bad game.
Since myself and a few others like Pepe Reina, we haven't had a goalkeeper who has commanded his area as well as Alisson.
I think it's important to make the simple things right: the easy saves, the catches, commanding the box. On top of that, if you make a super save, then that's great. It's the main base as a goalkeeper.
The spectacular things come automatically if you're a good goalkeeper, but it's very important that you do all the basics right.
I like to feel I'm mature, consistent as a keeper and I pride myself on my shot-stopping and the presence that I have.
I've crossed every bridge to become a Premier League goalkeeper, I think I'm going in the right direction and I think I'm mature as a goalkeeper.
Often, there are fallacies when a journalist or a fan and sometimes even a coach who has never been a goalkeeper sees a cross in the six-yard box and says he should come out.
What goalkeeper doesn't like a little action?
It is never nice to see keepers make mistakes. All keepers talk about it, and we work very hard not to make those mistakes.
There's no pressure on a goalkeeper in a penalty shootout. So it's a nice opportunity for us to have some fun and try and make some saves.
I want to become the best person as a goalkeeper I can be.
There's not a single keeper in the world that goes through a season without a little dip.
