Alisson hailed Richarlison as Brazil’s new hero after his wonder goal got their World Cup campaign off to a winning start.
Tottenham forward Richarlison produced a moment of individual brilliance in Brazil’s 2-0 win over Serbia, his second a breathtaking volleyed scissor kick - a goal of the tournament contender that will take some beating.
Neymar - who went off with an ankle injury - may be Brazil’s star player, but Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson underlined Richarlison’s value to the favourites and five-time winners. “He’s an amazing player, really important for us,” said Alisson.
