Dispute in the national team’s goal is open without Alisson and Taffarel

The competition for the starting place in the goal of the Brazilian team is open, after a relatively safe period for alisson in position. ederson will be in the starting line-up against Morocco, in the friendly on Saturday (25), and the dispute tends to get closer.

Alisson was not called up for the friendly against Morocco, on Saturday (25). It was a technical option for Ramon Menezes, as the player is not injured.

The goalkeepers called were Ederson and Weverton, who were in the Cup, in addition to Mycaelgoalkeeper of athletic and the under-20 team.

“When I saw the list, it was strange, but it’s the coach’s decision, they are choices. I thought he would be on the list and I don’t know why, if it’s an opportunity for younger boys. We have to work and do our best”, said Ederson.

Taffarel also did not come as a goalkeeper trainer for the interim coaching staff. he gave way to Silvio Jardimfrom America-MG.

Taffarel had coached the national team’s goalkeepers since Dunga’s days, when Alisson became a starter.

THE TAFFAREL-ALISSON RELATIONSHIP

Taffarel has always been an admirer of Alisson. Throughout his management, the Liverpool goalkeeper had preference in coach Tite’s lineup, being a starter in the last two World Cups. Both are the result of Internacional’s goalkeeping school. Affinity starts there. After the national team, they started to work together in Liverpool too.

Taffarel sees in Alisson a goalkeeper who is not fussy, confident and who makes the technical gestures of the position correctly. Ederson, on the other hand, plays better with his feet. For this, he is constantly praised by Pep Guardiola, his coach at Manchester City.

FUTURE SCENARIOS

The lack of projection about the future of the selection goes through Ramon Menezes, the interim, and spills over to the players who are summoned and want to show service. Of the three currently called up, Weverton is the oldest (35 years old). Ederson is 29, while Mycael, 19, is a bet for the under-20 team that will compete in the World Cup in May, under Ramon’s command.

Alisson, on the other hand, is 30 years old. In theory, with firewood to burn until the Cup. He had recent failures at Liverpool, in addition to being contested for not having saved a penalty in Brazil’s elimination against Croatia, in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Cup.

It’s a long cycle, many things and phases can happen. I need to work as hard as I can and maintain consistency to be here as many times as possible Ederson.
