Klopp sends Brazilian pair congratulatory message after final win

Jurgen Klopp sent Brazilian pair Roberto Firmino and Alisson Becker a congratulatory message after the Liverpool duo helped their country win the Copa America.

Hosts Brazil beat Peru 3-1 at the Maracana Stadium to lift the 2019 trophy, with goals from Gabriel Jesus, Everton Soares and Richarlison enough to seal the win.

Alisson and Firmino both started the game, after which the Reds goalkeeper claimed the Golden Glove for the tournament.

“I wrote them a message immediately after the game,” Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com.

“I was sent a couple of videos, voice messages and stuff like that. They had a good time.

“The last one I got this morning at 7.30, so they need a holiday but they deserve it of course. It’s nice, it’s really nice, to see them celebrating again when you see the pictures yesterday after the game how the whole of Brazil [celebrated]. It reminded me immediately of our little celebration four or five weeks ago!

“It’s nice, it helps them of course. I think the last time they [Brazil] won it was 2007, they were kids. Ali, now 26, was 14 years old then, so it’s just nice. You watch the game then and they could not have imagined that they would be the next generation to win it. I’m really happy for them.”
