Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has hailed the progress of fellow Brazilian Marcelo Pitaluga.
Like Alisson, Pitaluga came through the system at Internacional and now trains with the Reds first team.
"Marcelo is really talented," Alisson told Liverpool's website. "I saw him a few times back in Brazil, but I could know more about him here as a goalie and as a person as well.
"He is a really special boy, he is really excited about having the opportunity to play for Liverpool. Now he has settled in and is doing really well in training.
"He is a boy who trains really hard and is really dedicated for what he is doing. And someone who likes to learn as well.
"So it is really good to work together with him, not only for being Brazilian but for being a really good talent and such a good person."
