Liverpool midfielder: This was a dream come true

LIVERPOOL midfielder Allan has admitted it was a dream come true to score playing for his country.

DREAM: ALLAN SCORED FOR BRAZIL UNDER-20S YESTERDAY
The 19-year-old found the net for Brazil Under-20s yesterday to help them to a 2-1 win over South Korea.
And the teenager expressed his delight after the game.
“It’s a great feeling,” he said.
“We’ve been working hard since we were kids to have the chance to represent our country. My family and I are very proud of it.
“The feeling of scoring a goal is hard to describe – every kid who plays football dreams of that and I’ve had the chance to experience that feeling on the pitch. It was thrilling.
“We work to stay as calm as possible during the game and have self-control in front of goal. I’m happy I’ve managed to score that goal.”
Allan joined Liverpool last summer before being sent on loan spells at SJK in Finland and Sint-Truidense in Belgium.
He is set for another temporary switch away from Anfield this summer as he does not qualify for a UK work permit yet.
The Liverpool Echo report that Liverpool want to send Allan on loan to a ‘top league' for next season in the hope of securing him a work permit for the 2017/18 campaign.
New work permit rules brought in by the FA last year require Allan to have played 30 per cent of Brazil’s senior national team matches over the past 24 months to automatically qualify for a permit.
Clubs can make appeals for players who do not meet that criteria in which a points-based system is used which takes into account the transfer fee, wages and the number of minutes they have played in a ‘top league’.
The FA defines a top league as the six European leagues which provide the most players to the top 20 squads in the FIFA World Rankings and the two Central and South American leagues which provide the most players to the top 20 squads in the FIFA World Rankings.
