Messias says he celebrated the win like Sporting’s new signing’s mum: pride | OneFootball

Messias, father of Alisson Santos, celebrated his son's first goal for Sporting. The 'number 27' scored his first goal with the green and white stripes in the 4-1 victory against Kairat, in a match played last Thursday, September 18th, as part of the Champions League.

“I can't even describe the happiness I felt seeing my son compete in a tournament like the Champions League. It's a huge emotion. Last night was a night of celebration. I celebrated here in Brazil, as did his mother who is in another city. It was a great pride,” he told the Record newspaper.

Next, Alisson Santos' father revealed some of his usual moves: “He likes to play on the left to dribble and shoot. It's a tactical solution that's also used here in Brazil and it helps Alisson. When he controls well and hits the ball like that, I already know it's going to be a goal. I know my son has been working hard and this goal is his reward.”

In conclusion, Messias had the opportunity to talk about his son's special celebration, which was inspired by Rafael Leão's style: “It's possible they talked and Alisson decided to celebrate that way. Rafael Leão is a great player and an idol for him. You haven't seen the best of Alisson yet. He's a young man who came from the 2nd League but is gaining confidence and will get even better.”
