WHAT HAPPENED?

The 31-year-old goalkeeper is used to wearing the number one shirt, as he has become the first choice goalkeeper for club and country. He is the absolute number one choice at Anfield and holds the number 1 position on Merseyside.

PANORAMA

Alisson regularly plays a similar role with Brazil and is expected to take on the back-row guard role as the Brazilians seek continental victory in the United States this summer. He was a starter in the fiery 3-2 win over Mexico, in which soon-to-be Real Madrid-bound Endirck scored the winner in the 96th minute.

DO YOU KNOW?

Alisson was on the field for the entire 90 minutes to make his 64th appearance for Team Brazil, but he had a pretty special shirt number. As the Brazilian national team is celebrating its 110th anniversary, special permission has been granted to produce a single set of goalkeeper jerseys.

BRAZIL TEAM’S MATCH SCHEDULE

Brazil, who gave Alisson the captain’s armband against Mexico, are counting down the days for their Copa America opener against Costa Rica on June 24. They have one more friendly match to play, against Brazil. American nation, previously.
