Brazil keeper coach Taffarel: Man City No1 Ederson threatening Alisson

Manchester City's Ederson is pushing Alisson for the Brazil number one goalkeeper spot, according to coach Claudio Taffarel.

Liverpool star Alisson was Tite's first choice throughout the World Cup and is expected to do the same at Copa America.

But Taffarel says Ederson has a chance of making the starting line-up.

"They both play in the same league. Both teams (Liverpool and Manchester City) are at the same level," Taffarel said.

"Alisson has had a sequence as a starting goalkeeper for a long time with the national squad.

"Maybe this could carry some weight but this is not a defined thing. I have seen a big growth of Ederson with the national squad."
