Brazil boss Tite has hailed Fabinho for bringing positive energy and confidence with him from Liverpool into the national team.
Per Goal's Dejan Kalinic, the manager spoke ahead of Tuesday's friendly with South Korea and singled out Fabinho for praise:
"All the times he played, he played very well.
"And he brings confidence from his club to the Brazil national squad. In a natural way, and we can feel it. It's not that you can only see it, you can feel it.
"Fabinho is playing his normal football in a role that he also has at Liverpool.
