Billal Brahimi is eager to make his debut wearing the Santos jersey. The forward is already registered in the CBF’s BID and has made himself available to coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda to play against Red Bull Bragantino on Sunday, in the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship.
“I’m ready and I hope to play against Red Bull Bragantino. The adaptation has been flawless. Playing with good players makes it much easier to adapt,” he said.
The new number 21 for Peixe also took the opportunity to explain how he prefers to play on the field and promised skill.
“I like to play on the right because it’s my strong point. I have a lot of strength and dribbling ability. I play with both feet, which helps me on the right,” he stated.
Billal Brahimi is from Algeria, left-footed, and is 1.83m tall. In his career, he has played for Nice, Sint-Truiden, Brest, Angers, Le Mans, and Middlesbrough. This will be his first experience in South American football.
“The league is super strong and that helps me adapt even faster. The Brasileirão has a very high level. Brazilian football has nothing to envy from European football. But I’ll be able to answer better (about the comparison) after I play some matches,” he concluded.
