Alisson Santos was one of the main highlights of Sporting in the match against Estoril, which the lions won 1-0, in a match valid for the seventh round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. On the same day, the Brazilian celebrated his 23rd birthday, something that was recorded by the Alvalade Club.
"I'm happy to celebrate this birthday with the team. Thank God we got the three points and now we just have to continue on this path", said the player in the most recent 'Backstage Sporting'. In the same video, shared by the greens and whites, it is possible to see that Alisson gave the first slice of the cake to Geovany Quenda, with whom he is already forming a friendship.
For now, the player is pleasing Rui Borges, which has resulted in him being in action in the last five Sporting games - Porto, Famalicão, Kairat, Moreirense and Estoril -, where, in two of them, he even debuted to score and assist with the green and white striped team. Now, the coach's goal is to work on the tactical aspect with the player.
Moreover, it's worth remembering that the young forward wants to play for the Brazilian national team. The player dreams of being called up to represent the canarinha and the goal against the Kazakhs of Kairat, in the Champions League debut, gives hope to this possibility.
Despite being a regular bet in Rui Borges' call-ups, Alisson Santos - valued at 1.5 million euros - has not yet had much playing time this season. Since his arrival at Sporting, the Brazilian winger has only 49 minutes, in six matches, with one goal scored and one assist.
