Liverpool duo Alisson and Fabinho played for Brazil against USA.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has hailed teammate Fabinho for his performance for Brazil against the United States, as quoted by the Liverpool Echo.
With the first international break of the season upon us, Liverpool stars have been looking to take their domestic form into games with their countries in recent days.
On Saturday morning, three Liverpool stars were in action in the same game, as Alisson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino all started for Brazil against the United States in New Jersey.
Unsurprisingly, a Brazil side which also contained for Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho ran out comfortable winners, beating the US 2-0 at MetLife Stadium.
It was Liverpool ace Firmino who got the scoring started, as a superb run from winger Douglas Costa ended with the ball being crossed in for Firmino to tap home from point-blank range.
The second goal came when Liverpool ace Fabinho went on a run into the box, and he was adjudged to have been tripped by Will Trapp, allowing Neymar to score from the penalty spot.
The three Liverpool players will be delighted to have claimed a win, especially Fabinho, who has yet to even play a single minute of Premier League action since his summer move from Monaco.
The midfielder has been completely left out by Jurgen Klopp this term, but was given the nod in an unfamiliar right back role by Brazil, prompting praise from goalkeeper Alisson.
As quoted by the Liverpool Echo, Alisson has now hailed Fabinho, praising him for playing well in a position that isn’t his natural one, admitting that he contributing defensively and going forward.
“Fabinho did very well, as did all the defence,” said Alisson. “He played in a position to which he’s no longer accustomed, and today went very well, winning the penalty and helping out with the marking,” he added.
