Alvalade graduate: New club reminds me of Sporting, never seen so much | OneFootball

The defensive midfielder who trained at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy will defend a new emblem and remembered Sporting.

Eric Dier has strengthened Monaco, a Ligue 1 team, this summer, and compared his new club to Sporting in a recent interview. The defensive midfielder, who can also line up as a central defender, trained at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, and spent the first years of his sports career serving the lions.

The player gave a recent interview to The Telegraph, an English newspaper, where he analyzed his arrival at the French championship team, and his first steps at the new club. He admitted to being happy with the change, and did not forget Sporting, where he took his first steps in football.

"It reminds me a lot of that team. Everyone around the same age, all together", began by explaining Eric Dier, establishing the comparison between Monaco and Sporting, two teams that habitually make a strong bet on their player training Academy.

The former element of the green and white frames continued with his analysis, leaving some compliments to the team he now represents, without forgetting the young people he now interacts with daily: "I have never seen so much young talent together in one place. It's true. So it's good to be around this youth".

Remember that Eric Dier represented the lions for 11 years, between 2003 and 2014, having trained at the Alcochete Academy. At the senior level, he played 31 games for the main lion team, in the 2012/13 and 2013/14 seasons, in which he scored a goal and two assists.
