Fans call Alisson’s season at São Paulo “poor” | OneFootball

The fans of São Paulo did not approve of midfielder Alisson's season with the club's jersey. The player started the year as a starter but ended up losing his place with the arrival of coach Hernán Crespo and couldn't perform the same way at the end of the year. Therefore, the tricolor fans ended 2025 displeased with the number 25.

In a poll conducted by Gazeta Esportiva, more than half of the fans rated Alisson's year at São Paulo negatively. 47.83% of voters felt that the midfielder's season was "bad," while another 21.74% considered that the player had a "terrible" 2025.

Despite this, a part of the fans seemed satisfied with the player's performance. 26.09% of the fans rated Alisson's season as "average." Another 4.35% even saw a "good" year for the athlete.

Alisson's Season

Alisson had ups and downs this season. The midfielder recovered from ankle surgery at the end of 2024 and regained good form, reclaiming and maintaining his starting position at the beginning of 2025. He started the year as one of Zubeldía's main trusted players and had a good Paulista Championship. One of the athlete's strengths this season was his good physical condition, amid a wave of injuries that plagued the Tricolor.

However, between May and June, Alisson began to fluctuate, but his starting position remained intact—at least until Zubeldía's departure and Hernán Crespo's arrival. The Argentine was announced on June 18 and even kept the midfielder as a starter in the first games. However, in August, the midfielder began to suffer from hip pain and couldn't have a longer sequence with the new coach.

Without the number 25, Crespo had to make do with what he had and found a trio of midfielders formed by Marcos Antônio, Bobadilla, and Pablo Maia. When he recovered from the hip pain, Alisson didn't perform as well as at the beginning of the season and began alternating between starters and substitutes, losing space with the Argentine coach.

The fluctuation continued until the end of this season, but the midfielder mainly appeared among São Paulo's substitutes. Despite this, he ended the year as the second outfield player with the most games for the tricolor team alongside Bobadilla—both played 52 matches, and Alisson scored one goal and provided two assists.
