Liverpool keeper's message to ex-Flamengo after Brazil snub

What did Alisson, Liverpool (ENG) goalkeeper, say about Hugo Souza?

Goalkeeper Alisson gave a press conference this Thursday (11) in the United States. In one of his answers, the Brazil National Team’s No. 1 mentioned Weverton’s quality and also made a point of highlighting the competition for a spot on the squad list, which included Hugo Souza, former Flamengo player.

He was called up on his own merit. For everything he has done over the last few years. He has been one of the best goalkeepers in Brazilian football. Him, me, Ederson... And that does not mean the others did not deserve to be here as well, they did because of their quality," he said, before concluding:

Bento, Hugo, the younger ones, and everyone else who was considered for this spot. Everyone here is here on their own merit and has the trust of the coaching staff and Ancelotti. That’s how I see it," Alisson concluded.

Before the squad list came out, one of the positions that raised the most doubts was goalkeeper. As a result, Hugo Souza, who was enjoying a good spell at Corinthians, came onto coach Carlo Ancelotti’s radar. However, in the final decision, Brazil’s manager did not call up the former Flamengo player.
