Giorgi Mamardashvili believes that he will become Liverpool's No. 1 goalkeeper by defeating the temple holder is Alisson. The Georgia goalkeeper officially joined the Premier League champion team in early July – nearly a year after being bought by Liverpool with 29 million pounds from Valencia.
Mamardashvili will face the fact that Alisson has a firm foothold in the team of coach Arne Slot. “Alisson is one of the best goalkeepers in the world today. I am very eager to compete with such a person. I like challenges and I am here to devote myself and help the team.
When I was young, I always watched videos about the goalkeeper on YouTube, and knew some Liverpool goalkeepers like Jerzy Dudek, then Pepe Reina and now Alisson. Liverpool has a massive goalkeeper and I want to write my own new chapter. ”
Due to the absence of Alisson, Mamardashvili played the half of a 3-1 victory over the Preston North End at Deepdale Sunday. However, he is still just a reserve goalkeeper for Alisson. Occupying Alisson's position is very difficult, because even CaoMhin Kelleher could not do it and accepted to move to Brentford for 18 million pounds.
It is necessary to know, Kelleher filled the excellent gap when Alisson was absent for 3 months because of the injury last season and deserved to be called the best Premier League reserve goalkeeper. Without Alisson's continuous shine, Kelleher's journey at Liverpool may be different.
Mamardashvili will face similar problems because when Alisson is still the first choice of Slot. Mamardashvili, who is raising ambition to become the best goalkeeper in the world in the future, wants to play the field instead of sitting outside.
This 24 -year -old goalkeeper will have to wait for the opportunity and try to find opportunities to have a foothold in the squad. He learned English and prepared for life in Liverpool for a while, and confidently will take on the position in the first team. It is inevitable that the competition between two quality goalkeepers.
BLD Liverpool is sure that Mamardashvili has enough qualities to become the next main catcher and a long -term replacement for Alisson in the future. They also had concerns about Alisson's injury records after he was absent for 3 months because of the problem of hamstring in the 2024/25 season.
In the summer of 2024, sports director Richard Hughes decided to keep three veteran goalkeepers for that reason and this decision was effective, with Kelleher's main arrest in November and December (Jaros is the second goalkeeper). However, now, both have gone.
Now, if Alisson is injured, Mamardashvili will be under replacement pressure, an international goalkeeper is highly appreciated and experienced, but has not been challenged in the Premier League. He had an excellent performance for Georgia Tel at Euro 2024 finals so he was recruited by Liverpool.
The attention of Saudi Arabia with Alisson also promotes the needs of planning, in case the Brazilian goalkeeper follows the call of the currency. It is known that this concern has now subsided, and Alisson's contract still has 2 more years with the option to extend another 12 months to benefit the club.
Although Mamardashvili's performance in Valencia in the season has just ended as impressive as in Georgia, he is still part of the team struggling at the end of the chart in most of the season (ending at the 12th position in La Liga), this has created a spread effect.
The keeping of the goal for the Premier League Liverpool champion, a team faced with a fewer target shots and more control of the ball, will match Mamardashvili's gameplay. That is why he is considered the No. 1 temple guard of The Kop in the future.
