Alisson Santos shines at Sporting, could earn a call-up for… | OneFootball

Alisson Santos may be getting closer to realizing a dream and being called by Carlo Ancelotti for the Brazil National Team. The second goal by the Lions' player in the Champions League has once again opened doors for him and placed him among a select group of footballers.

According to the Record newspaper, those responsible for the Brazilian national team are keeping an eye on the player who, despite also having Tunisian nationality, prefers to wear the Brazilian jersey. Since Alisson had already been on the CBF list after the goal against Kairat - because those who stand out in the Champions League are valued -, he has now stood out even more.

Besides that, the performance of the 'number 27' is also a topic of conversation in his country. "Movie-like story," wrote TNT, while Globoesporte highlighted the "international rise" of the Sporting player, who last season was on loan to Leiria from Bahia.

With this victory – the ninth in 13 matches this season –, Rui Borges' team climbed to the 12th position in the league phase of the Champions League. The Lions now have six points from three matches played so far in the prestigious tournament.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Alisson Santos - valued at 1.5 million euros - has played 10 matches. Over the 188 minutes he has been used by Rui Borges, the Brazilian winger has already scored two goals and made one assist.
