Alexis Mac Allister, key player for Liverpool, has a special daily habit only few footballers enjoy. The Argentine footballer spends a moment each day clutching his World Cup winners’ medal, reminding himself of his monumental achievement.
Mac Allister revealed his plans for a personalised museum showcasing his sporting accomplishments, including the prized World Cup, “My plan is to one day create a little museum at home – a room where everything is there… and my plan is to be able to have a place for them where I can always see them.” Moreover, when asked about his upcoming Carabao Cup final against Chelsea, Mac Allister stated his goal is to “win trophies”.
His eagerness and confidence suggest that his trophy collection will enlarge soon. At just 25, Mac Allister’s football career is soaring. Not only he has won a World Cup trophy alongside football legend Lionel Messi, but he’s also making his mark in Liverpool as an indispensable player.
As a football household, the Mac Allister clan regularly shares football advice. Raised alongside other family members who are current or ex-professionals, this Argentine is set to follow his family legacy. He displays remarkable maturity which has been evident in maintaining the professional standards at Liverpool after the departure of James Milner and Jordan Henderson.
Ever since his arrival from Brighton and Hover Albion at an appealing£35 million price, the younger Argentine has stood out on and off the pitch, being a ‘natural connector’ for Liverpool’s South American players. Liverpool could not have asked for a better player to fill in Milner’s boots.
But the stage is set for the footballer’s next challenge. Mac Allister’s traditional South American mate drink will be in hand as he prepares for the Carabao Cup final, hoping his family’s footballing advice will lead him to victory. He cheekily added, despite his friendly banter with ex-Brighton teammate Moises Caicedo, who chose Chelsea over Liverpool, “I wish him all the best every day of his life – but not on Sunday.”
