Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson’s father, Jose Becker, drowned in the Camaqua River in the Brazilian town of Lavras do Sul.
When his disappearance was reported, Jose was bathing on the family estate and only a few hours later, his body was found. He was 57 years old, and the media reported that firefighters searched for his body without success until it was found in the last moments of the search.
And Jose’s other son, Muriel is a goalkeeper, and he wears the Fluminense jersey like Jose himself did in his youth.
He had a huge impact on the careers of Alisson and Muriel although he never reached the strongest Brazilian league.
