Brazil were in training at Tottenham on Wednesday ahead of this weekend's World Cup warm-up match with Croatia at Anfield.
Roberto Firmino, Neymar, Willian and Philippe Coutinho were among the stars who graced the pitches in north London, as the squad stepped up their training going into the finals in June.
Firmino spoke out ahead of the session preparing them for Sunday's friendly, and voiced his delight in getting the opportunity to represent his nation on Merseyside.
"It will be something unique to play at Anfield together with all Liverpool's fans," the Brazilian told liverpoolfc.com. "It's a great stadium with a lovely pitch. It will be a fantastic atmosphere.

"That will come with time. I'm still a bit scared of going all out, but there are still several days before our start.
"I feel good physically. My foot is fine. Of course I have to adjust to certain things. I'm feeling a bit of discomfort but it's not going to stop me from playing."
