Liverpool's Brazilian keeper Alisson Becker is excited at playing a team from his country in the Club World Cup.

The 27-year-old, who was born in Novo Hamburgo in southern Brazil, said: "I was a young boy at 14 when I watched my club Internacional win the Club World Cup in 2006 as a fan.

"I'm excited to be playing the Club World Cup, it is a dream come true. It's big for Brazilians but bigger for who is playing.

"We are here and this is big for us, it's important to put our name in the history of the club."

"I still watch Brazilian football and Flamengo are a joy to watch." Alisson added.
