Bodo/Glimt keeper Friedrich remembers Alisson when 'he was small and fat'

Bodo/Glimt goalkeeper Ricardo Friedrich is happy for former teammate Alisson Becker.

Friedrich played with the Liverpool No1 as a junior player at Internacional.

He told VG: "I know Alisson from my teens. It's crazy.

"He has always been very talented. At least after he turned 16 years old. Before that, he was a little small and fat.

"We follow each other on social media, and it happens that we send each other a message before we play an important match. It will be mostly 'good luck' and such things. Even if one is doing the same sport, it is difficult to keep in touch."
