Carolina Santiago: "It has always been and is a dream to play for Sporting"
"I am very happy to be able to continue. It has always been and is a dream to play for Sporting”, said the striker, to the Club de Alvalade's media, reinforcing the "feeling of pride" that is to represent the green and white emblem.
Recalling her training, Carolina Santiago remembered: “They were very good years, of much growth and evolution, and this is also due to the work done by Sporting. I have had many good moments, from being National Champion in under-19 to the promotion to the A team, which was always a goal. Here, I have always felt at home”.
“The work is not only mine, it is of the whole team. I have to stay consistent, continue to work and help the team to the maximum”, she said, about the moment of form, promising “race, a lot of claw and desire to win and score goals”, leaving a message to the fans: “Keep supporting us. We have many goals this season and we want to bring a lot of joy”.
This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Carolina Santiago has been one of the biggest surprises of Micael Sequeira's team. After a season on loan at Valadares Gaia, the young forward has scored five goals in four games with the green and white striped shirt.
