Alisson Becker reveals how it feels like to play alongside Roberto Firmino

Alisson Becker has opened up on his close relationship with Liverpool and Brazil national team teammate Roberto Firmino. Alisson joined the Reds back in the summer of 2018, while Firmino has been with Liverpool since 2015. Speaking to Premier League Productions, the Liverpool goalkeeper said: "It's great to play alongside Bobby. I already knew him from the Selecao, I knew him from the impact he was having. He was in the Brazil squad before me. "We then became teammates in the national team and we interacted a lot more during call-ups, at games and preparing for games. "Then the opportunity to come to Liverpool came about and he was a very important influence in my choice. He spoke highly of the club, he spoke about the reality at the club and arriving here I could see it all to be true. "Our families have become close as well, this is great for us. He's a similar guy to me, he's laid back and manages to be even more shy than me. "It's an honour for me. The word that defines our relationship is 'honour'. It's an honour to play alongside him." source - Liverpoolfc.com
