Brazil legend Roberto Carlos says he would prefer to see Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson in goals over Liverpool's Alisson.

Alisson collected his sixth consecutive clean sheet for Selecao in Tuesday night's draw with Venezuela.

But Carlos would prefer to see Ederson in between the sticks because of his superior foot skills.

He said: "At least we are changing this view of only forwards playing for European teams but you saw Ederson starting in Portugal and Alisson playing at Roma first.

"We are creating new good goalkeepers and there are many more coming through.

"I like Alisson because he is tall and has good positioning but Ederson can play in any position – goalkeeper, centre-back, midfielder – he has great quality.

"So I am sorry Alisson, but to me Ederson is a bit better because he plays better with his feet.

"Alisson has won the Champions League and Ederson didn't get there with City which makes Alisson very happy and that has to motivate Ederson to be an even better keeper."
