'Wouldn't call up himself': Alisson told he does not deserve to be Brazil No 1

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has been returned to the Brazil squad as he's been called up for friendly games against Guinea and Senegal.

Even though he's one of the best goalkeepers in the world - and probably Liverpool's Player of the Season - his place in the Brazil team is in doubt.

For example, Globo pundit Ana Thais Matos believes Alisson should've been left out.

"Not even Alisson would call up himself these days," she tweeted.

"People act crazy or they just pretend to be. Alisson was always a great goalkeeper at the club, he was once the best in the world, but what about the national team? His World Cup, once again, was not good and the national team should start renewing in this sector."

Liverpool fans probably couldn't care less whether Alisson plays or not - they may even prefer it if he has a break. Doubting Alisson's quality and putting all the blame for Brazil's problems on him is highly questionable, though.
