Liverpool F.C.'s Alisson Becker has been named vice-captain by manager Andoni Iraola, but he will not wear the captain's armband due to Premier League rules. The Brazilian goalkeeper has been a key player for the Reds, helping the team win several major trophies during his time at the club. However, the new rules introduced by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) mean that goalkeepers are no longer allowed to wear the captain's armband. According to the rules, only the captain is allowed to speak to referees, and goalkeepers are rarely in a position to do so. Alisson could theoretically wear the armband if all the other outfield captains were absent, but this is unlikely to happen. The new rules are intended to minimize dissent surrounding referees and promote a more respectful attitude towards officials. Liverpool F.C. has opted to follow the Premier League's lead and will not allow goalkeepers to wear the captain's armband. Alisson has been a popular figure on the pitch and in the dressing room, and his leadership skills have been recognized by the club. However, the new rules mean that he will not be able to lead the team as captain. The Reds will have to rely on their outfield players to wear the armband and lead the team.
