Alisson Becker chant: Lyrics, tune and story behind Liverpool’s song for their Brazilian goalkeeper

Liverpool's success across the past decade is often attributed to Mohamed Salah and now-captain Virgil van Dijk, but underpinning their work was goalkeeper Alisson Becker, a man that will go down in history as arguably the greatest Premier League shot-stopper of all time.

Such is the regard that Reds fans have for the Brazilian, they have created an Alisson Becker chant for their number one, who helped to transform Anfield into a fortress following his arrival in the summer of 2018.

It is easy to forget the wilderness years prior to the trophy-laden reign of Jurgen Klopp, but Liverpool were without a reliable face between the sticks from the moment that Pepe Reina started to decline in the late 2000s, up until Alisson made the switch from Roma for what was a record fee for a ‘keeper.

The thirty-three-year-old is now into the final year of his Reds contract, and supporters will be sure to belt out his chant during what could be his swansong at Anfield.

Here, Football Ground Guide covers all you need to know about the Alisson Becker chant, including the song's lyrics, tune and origin.

Alisson Becker chant, lyrics and tune

The Alisson Becker chant is sung to the tune of ‘Dragostea Din Tei' by O-Zone. The lyrics are as follows:

Alisson Becker,

The Brazilian in our goal,

We love him as our own,

He loves to get the ball to Mo,

There was once a corner,

Ali ran up on his own,

What happened, don't you know?

He scored a f***ing wonder goal

Alisson Becker chant background

The Alisson Becker chant, like many Liverpool chants, was created by a man with an acoustic guitar playing to a crowd of people.

This role was previously undertaken by Jamie Webster, but now Andy Hodgson and others have taken on the responsibility.

It was Hodgson who created this chant, and his lyrics do a good job of detailing some of the goalkeeper's best traits and most iconic moments. Unfortunately for Hodgson, the lyrics don't quite fit the tune at certain parts.

Regardless of that, any chant for Alisson Becker has to include his famous goal against West Brom in 2021, and Hodgson didn't miss in this regard.

FGG says: A good tune and good lyrics, but they just don't work together

When you think about how catchy and anthemic Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone is, it's a surprise that there aren't any popular football chants that use the tune. This is nearly perfect from Andy Hodgson, but it just misses the beat in parts.
