Alisson’s dad: Keeper admires player who owes €45m to Sporting | OneFootball

Messias, father of Alisson Santos, said he was very happy about his son's first goal wearing the Sporting jersey. The family member of the new signing confessed that he celebrated effusively in Brazil and revealed that the player is a fan of Rafael Leão, an athlete who owes 45 million euros to the Lions.

“I can’t even describe the happiness I felt seeing my son playing in a competition like the Champions League. It’s an overwhelming emotion. Last night was a night of celebration. I celebrated here in Brazil, just as his mother did in another city. It was a great source of pride,” he told the newspaper Record.

Next, Alisson Santos’ father revealed some of his son's usual moves: “He likes to play on the left to dribble and shoot. It’s a tactical solution that is also used here in Brazil and that helps Alisson. When he controls the ball well and strikes it 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: “It’s possible that they talked and Alisson decided to celebrate like that. 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.”
