We broke the record for the most expensive keeper as we signed Alisson from AS Roma. The 25-year-old should really be someone who can fix our problems in goal and while many are questioning the deal, there was validation from one of the legends in the world of football, Pele.
Possibly the best player ever to have graced the game tweeted that he expects Roberto Firmino and Alisson to have great success at Liverpool.
Alisson, it’s great to see your success! I hope you shine next to Firmino in @LFC. I’m rooting for you! // @Alissonbecker, é ótimo ver o seu sucesso! Eu espero que você brilhe ao lado de Firmino no Liverpool. Estou torcendo por você! https://t.co/CD1SnCADox

However, the Brazilian legend missed out mentioning our other new Brazilian, Fabinho. The Liverpool fans were not going to let go of this little slip-up and here are some of the best reactions from the supporters.
