The man that is adjudged to be the greatest ever player in the World to have played the round leather-game, Edson Arantes Do Nascimento popularly known as Pele, has reached out to his fellow countryman, and Liverpool’s and world most expensive goalkeeper, Alisson Becker, for his move to the English Premier League.
Pele while praising the Brazilian for his big money move, also wished him well, and expecting him to shine like another Brazilian Firmino at Liverpool.
Pele who celebrated 50-years since he last played for Brazil, took to his social media page to share the message to the number one choice goalkeeper of Brazil’s Senior National Team. He said:
“Alisson, it’s great to see your success! I hope you shine next to Firmino in at Liverpool Football Club. I’m rooting for you! // Alisson Becker, é ótimo ver o seu sucesso! Eu espero que você brilhe ao lado de Firmino no Liverpool. Estou torcendo por você!”
Though the former AS Roma goalkeeper did not have a great world cup experience with his country in Russia and also has had it rough a few games in Italy, especially against top teams in Europe, he will be looking to do well in England and help Liverpool lift the Premier League.
