Alisson for Brazil? Ex-coach of Sporting star says: I believe | OneFootball

Filipe Cândido believes that Alisson Santos could make it to the Brazil National Team. The Paços de Ferreira coach spoke with journalists at the press conference after the match against Sporting, which ended with a green and white victory, 3-2.

Filipe Cândido was the coach responsible for bringing Alisson Santos to Portuguese football. At the end of the match, the Paços de Ferreira coach was asked about the Sporting winger, for whom he predicted a bright future, also offering plenty of praise.

"He is a player we observed at UD Leiria. We were fortunate to be able to bring him in and I felt he was a player with special talent who could very likely reach a higher level. If you ask me if I thought it would happen so quickly, maybe I expected it to take a bit longer," Filipe Cândido began by explaining.

The Paços de Ferreira coach continued with more positive words: "He is a player who, in a short time, will be important for Sporting and I even say that, if his development continues, I believe that one day he could reach the Brazil national team."

"That's my opinion, from what we've been able to see. The rest is up to his work. He's a good kid who wants to learn and that's a big advantage for him. I hope things go well for him," concluded the Paços de Ferreira coach.
