Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson's ongoing battle with Ederson for a Brazil starting spot is making them both better.

That is the view of Brazil's interim manager, who says their tussle for the no.1 shirt is still ongoing.

Alisson was the no.1 in Qatar at the World Cup in 2022, but the shirt is now up for grabs again.

"I don't know. I don't have that statement from Tite, because Ederson also played some games. I think it's always difficult. It was also difficult for Tite [previous coach]," temporary boss Fernando Diniz explained.

"I think both are among the three best goalkeepers in the world, so it's always hard for you to make an assessment and decide. Any time, any of them can play.

"But, specifically, including Perri, Bento, Weverton, among others. But those two [Alisson and Ederson], they have been playing at a very high level for a long time.

"Then it's a matter of feeling the moment for you to decide. Right now, we're going to start with Ederson, but it's a dispute that will always be open."
