Alisson's mentor warns Sporting: If he weren't a good lad... | OneFootball

Alisson Santos is in great form, scoring and assisting in the last two games for Sporting. Filipe Cândido, coach of Paços de Ferreira, was responsible for the winger's arrival at Leiria last season and believes he can be even better.

"He caught my attention with his ease in one-on-one situations and his power. That is, his acceleration ability. Also for his unpredictability, as he could feint to the left or to the right. Then, I realized that for a winger, he has a very good relationship with the goal. In terms of shot power, but also in definition, as evidenced by the pass for the goal in the game against Moreirense," he began, speaking to Record newspaper.

For the coach, if Alisson "wasn't a good kid and a good professional, he wouldn't have achieved in such a short time what he is achieving", ensuring that "for Rui Borges to be giving these opportunities" to the young Brazilian, it's because the 'number 27' of Sporting "has shown in training that he deserves them".

"The fans haven't seen everything from him yet. He still has a lot to show. And the fans will like it. Because, at Sporting, the fans like to win, but they also like this type of players who bring a lot of unpredictability to the game," he added.
