Alisson reveals reason behind sporting moustache in World Cup opener

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has surprised the fans with the return of the moustache he grew in time for Brazil's game against Serbia at the World Cup.

As it turns out, it's part of Gilette's Movember campaign in Brazil that urges men to take care of their physical and mental health and, in particular, raises awareness of diseases such as prostate cancer.

As a goodwill ambassador for the World Health Organization, Alisson will be the 'moustache that plays for everyone'.

"For me, it is a huge honour and a great responsibility to be able to participate in such a serious and important campaign as this one by Gillette," Alisson said.

"Nowadays, science and medicine have evolved a lot and we have access to a lot of information. We know how fundamental it is for us, men, to go to the doctor and have all the tests done more often.

"If the entire population becomes aware of the care to detect any problem in advance, it is possible to avoid the discovery of serious diseases at an advanced stage.

"I know my influence towards sports fans in general and I made a point of conveying this message with all the seriousness that it must be debated."
