Alisson: Carlo Ancelotti Has 'Transformed' Brazil After 'Very Difficult Period'

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has hailed the impact of Carlo Ancelotti, claiming the Italian manager has completely revitalised the Brazil national team.

Ahead of their World Cup opener, the shot-stopper admitted the squad had endured a testing time before the former Real Madrid boss took the reins.

Ancelotti is set to make history this Saturday as the first foreign manager to lead Brazil into a World Cup, and the internal reception to his appointment has been overwhelmingly positive.
